As much as i hate myself now and wish i could be someone else
As much as i sometimes want to possess someone else's body and live their life for them
Whenever i look back at who we were all those years ago
I cant help but feel pride in who ive become
Because however much removed i am from the person i want to be right now
Im as close as ive ever been
When i hear you speak about your life
Our interests and mannerisms differ
But the core of our spirit, and the structure that its built on, is identical
I might like terraria, while you like fortnite
You might like making youtube videos, while i like making music
But truly we all just want the same thing
Freedom in who we are
Freedom to express ourselves
In how we dress
How we talk
How we present ourselves
To pursue that person
That person we want to be
Constantly refining and fine-tuning ourselves
How we dry our hair after showers
How we sway our arms when we walk
The tone we speak with
The things we share with others
I remember how bad you wanted to be someone else then
And that feeling still hasnt gone away, trust me
But you'd be so proud of what i managed to make of ourselves, despite the imperfections
Did you know i wear nail polish now?
