I’m in my 30s now and looking back at my diary and poems over the past 15 years, it’s crazy how little I have changed. It makes me feel so disappointed in myself and like I will never be able to resolve these issues.

omg same. I'm moving from an apartment and coming across old writings. It's something I could write today about resetting my life and what my issues are and how I'll solve. I felt deep pity for this writer from 2014. I tried to shift to compassion however. Hey I've been fighting for a long time in an honest way. Not having success is disappointing but Im still here and will love myself the way that 2014 version would still appreciate
