I've already murdered so many past versions of myself for some i feel bad and for some i do not i feel bad for murdering the child version of me he was so innocent and sincere and happy he did not deserve it but i am glad i killed the version of myself from 3 years ago he was arrogant,brash,selfish he deserved to die.

If you are strong it is your duty to bear the weight of patience and endure not because you want those people to stay in your life but to teach yourself patience and endurance so you can have it even if they kill you entirely.

All my misplaced rage and fury.

Margaret Atwood, from Paper Boat: Selected Poems; "He Shifts from East to West,"

In truth i have always been scared to become my father mostly because i never thought i could.How do i become someone so big both in a mental and physical sense,how do i become someone so brave, so selfless,so forgiving and yet so strong all at the same time.Sometimes i think it's impossible people always compare me to him but i know very well i am not half of the man that he was,he was a family man a husband,father,brother,friend, working man he could bear the weight of the world on his shoulders and be a rock that everyone would cling onto for hope,he would be everyone's shoulder to cry on.In truth i think of my father as a mighy force of nature and i often ask myself how will i perhaps one day become like that,i guess that i can only try.

Yes because people see you as a single line and not a spectrum so they will always think you are fine,happy, satisfied and yet you are bearing the weight of the world on your shoulders and thinking about responsibilities which others could never perceive.And if they see you like that let them because in truth that is how you see them as well.

No matter how much you compromise, people will always see what they want and treat you as nothing more than an useful object.

People often told me i look like my father and i would say yes i do but in my soul i am exactly like my mother I have her rage,her love,her beauty,her compassion,her grit,her sense of fight.I am more like her than people seem to see and i love that because no one is quite like my mother and that means there is no one quite like me.

I looked at my mother because I was a version of my mother. I looked away from my mother because I was a version of my mother. I was me, but I was also her—my mother, and I understood this all too well.

Forgiveness is the cure that cradles the world and unfortunately there isn't enough of it.But if there exists any wrong that has been done to you forgive, don't forgive the person or the situation or the circumstances but yourself so your heart does not become more bitter like a poison.Forgive for yourself

James Baldwin, from Another Country [ID'd]
