every hero’s journey, summed up: realizing upon pursuing something that what you want is impossible to achieve based on your current identity & you must shed it in order to fully confront the reality of your situation and move towards what you desire

I would not be who I am today and where I am if I hadn’t changed myself completely between 9th and 11th grade. It was not easy. It was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. I understand why people don’t do these sort of changes — it opens you up for all sorts of abuse and hatred, even from your own friends and family.
