I just realized that everything I was saying and doing was because someone told me that’s what I should do, and as an insecure middle schooler I desperately wanted to fit in and once I realized I could be my own person I started realizing that helping others and being kind and considerate felt infinitely better and more rewarding that constantly trying to one up everyone and put others down to appear better in everyone’s eyes, because at the end of the day you can only be so great and there will always be people who hate on others so just be the best you you can be and that’s enough
