LIGHT YEARS AWAY

It’s funny how sometimes you look back and you realize you were actually the villain in someone else’s narrative. Your made-for-soap kontrabida behavior suddenly becomes so blindingly apparent that you wonder how on earth you could’ve allowed yourself to be that person. You pass judgement on certain types of people when in technicality, you were in the same boat. You’re not so nice after all. Having this insight can be quite a downer.

The worst part is, after being completely repulsed by all this, when asked whether you’d go through it again, the answer is still yes. Your mind will justify that it was a major learning experience. Yet a hushed voice will remind you that you went for it because you wanted it, plain and selfish.

Good thing it’s all light years away.
