@AcceptingMe

At 33 yrs old, I’m feeling the same way till this day. I had a rough time growing up and made plenty of mistakes in the past. I partied a lot, experimented with a lot of drugs, hurt a lot of people and I was known as “that person”. And the worst part is that I was young at the time. I know a lot of people do crazy things when they are young but for some reason i got criticized the most. It caused me depression, anxiety and some times i wanted to feel dead or just disappear so all the gossip would stop. But instead as I grew up and wanted to better myself, I learned from my mistakes and accepted the facts that some people will see me what i was in the past. And they can gossip that all they want, but in reality, thats what their life is all about. Just gossiping about other people because they are bored with their own lives. People change and they might not see that. But you dont have to prove anything to anyone but yourself. Just remember that they don’t really know you. They just know who you are from the mistakes that you did in the past. Just move on and keep doing what you love while these gossipers still live in your past and not the now.

PS. Took me forever to figure out how to reply. Newbie probs..
