The Scars Of Our Youth And The Rush To Forget
Reflection Of The Movie Chemical Hearts
Stars are the reminder that people are just the ashes of dead stars. We are just a collection of atoms that come together for a brief period of time, and then we fall apart.
When everything is over and we’re dispersed back into nothingness… we have a clean slate.
Is like having all of your sins wiped away.
Sometimes it’s just easier to slip into your own dark abyss and forget the world exists.
Trapped in your own bubble, untouchable.
Flashes of the person you used to be and no longer exist.
When you looked back to the way you used to be, don't you wonder Was she an act and I’m just myself now? Or is the grace of knowing an act until you feel comfortable being yourself again?
I guess people change.
No one is the same person that they were when they were 14teen.
When you’re young, the chemicals in your brain drive you to make decisions that rip you away from the safety of your childhood and drag you into the wilderness of adulthood.
Adulthood: Scarred kids that were lucky enough to make it out of teenage limbo alive.
I urge you to go outside and look at the world through that prism.
Look at your parents, your older siblings, look at strangers and imagine that at one point in their lives they too walked these halls.
They too felt the unbearable loneliness, the absolute unbearable powerless and darkness of being young.
We tend to think of scars as ugly or imperfect… as things we want to hide or forget.
But they never go away.
Scars are not reminders of what’s been broken, but rather of what’s been created.
Don't try to forget, embrace it instead.
We are an extraordinary collection of atoms trying to find its way through life.
