Realize that you are hurt because you trusted someone, because you let someone in. And that is not something to regret, but to be proud of.

Compliments were not meant to be burdens, I know,
yet somehow being called pretty prompts me to put on a particular show.

There is no significance in years alone. Meaningless moments will amalgamate into an entire lifetime, unless you consciously design your life. And the secret is this: that elusive, magical life starts by starting, now.

You realize that now is as good a time as any. It’s no new notion that time passes fast, and whatever it is you’re waiting to make happen, you may as well do it now. 

To delay your transition into adulthood. When someone asks what you’re doing, you can say “studying,” and it saves you from any real responsibilities for at least 4 years.
