hey there, i've decided to unpublish and delete most of my stories.

the thing is, i made this account when i was twelve; immature and foolish. i thought i was such a great writer, i thought i knew everything.

newsflash: i didn't.

i thought the zenith of maturity was being sad and miserable, being overly pretentious and critical.

it's only been a few years but i've discovered that maturity is none of those things.

i've discovered that the hardest thing to win in this world is softness, not in the way that you'll forgive anyone and everything they've ever done to you, but softness in the way that you look at this cold, hard world and you decide to be different.

maturity is when you look at everything going on in the world and you don't think; "i want future generations to know what it was like for us", instead you think; "i'm going to build a better world for future generations, one where they'll only have to read about what we went through, not have to live it."

maturity is when you look at your significance in the world and decide that it doesn't matter if it's big or small, you'll make your difference, but most importantly; that difference will be good.

there's so many awful things in the world, you don't have to pile onto that. be a beacon of light against the darkness plaguing our world.

but most importantly? live your life, take a deep breath and appreciate what you have now, and look forward to what you will have tomorrow.
