Can you take a close look at why you act the way you act? And can you identify which parts of that you want to change? Is it fear? Is it rage? Is it grief or maybe loneliness?

Can you begin dealing with them now, and deal with them quickly? Carrying them around in life will make you mentally ill.

What is it in me that I don't like? Who the hell am I, really? And who did I think I was? Have I been living a version of me, but not really me? Am I that person I think I am? Am I actually living that life?

I think who I think I am, and who I really am, aren't the same person. I want to be that person I think I am.

Damn. I thought I was better than I actually am.

I will become the person I thought I was. I can make that happen. I think I have more control over how I want to experience this life than I think.

And I know I'm right.
