Have you ever had to reinvent yourself?

I mean, have to might be a bit much, but let's say you get a chance to, and maybe there's some things you want to leave behind, and anything that could've been stopping you before, isn't.

How would you do it?

It just seems like an awkward conversation to have.

[ ...Should he say who he is? Is it alright not to? ]

I think caring enough to try to fix things is a quality people like.

Anyway that makes you what, six? Disliking a child that small just seems cruel. And I'm not sure it says much about what people would think of you now.

I guess, but I really didn't know anything.

It's not any better now. When things came out at home, even though I just saw the immediate aftermath, it wasn't exactly pretty. I know this and still, I think you're right, I just...don't feel seen.

[withermarked]

You were still trying.

That sounds like someone else told people their way?

You seem like someone who cares a lot about other people. Puts them first. You have a right to feel seen, too.

There was nothing to deny. I can't deny where I came from, and how that makes people see me.

I don't worry about myself much, so I don't know why this bothers me so much. It shouldn't matter.

Even if there was nothing to deny, someone else's narrative isn't the same as you choosing what to tell people.

It's alright to worry about yourself. If it bothers you this much, then it matters.

I guess I'm just not used to it. I don't know how to go about this, or what I'm going to do but, I appreciate your perspective.

[withermarked]

That's understandable.

It's up to you of course. I just hope you end up doing something that makes you happier in the long run.

Thank you, I'll try.
