Things We Forget

I would change how fast I talk when I’m nervous.

I would change how often I romanticize chaos instead of seeking stability.

I would change my tendency to push people away when I am overwhelmed.

I would change how easily I forgive people who aren’t sorry.

I would change my fear of being misunderstood.

I would change how much I let nostalgia keep me stuck.

I would change my habit of assuming others know better than I do.

I would change how much I hesitate before trying something new.

I would change how rare it is that I advocate for myself.

I would change the way I internalize other people’s moods as my fault.
