stop believing that you ran out of time to shape yourself into who you want to be! stop believing that its ruined! stop believing you don’t have potential! you are not a fixed being! you have endless opportunities to grow.

And even if you can’t see a way to it now, preserving yourself and listening for the unknown day when you can is still a good deed.

becoming a better person isn’t a sudden and dramatic change. it’s something you do with small actions every day. you ARE a better person than you used to be. it’s like watching a tree grow: you don’t notice it when you’re close.

also like, you know those trees that are on a hill and have crooked, bent trunks? sometimes trees lose their footing and they tilt over as the ground shifts around underneath them. but they just keep growing upwards towards the light, making new branches and figuring things out a year at a time. there are trees that fall over entirely and just start again with goofy horizontal trunks. no matter how old you are or where you’ve fallen, you can still change yourself a year at a time.
