As english is not my native language, writing might be weak. I dont believe this stuff anymore, though I would happily agree to it a few years back. Reality does not work the same way for everyone. This statement may be used often by people who had their way in life, but that doesn’t mean It is the same for everyone else. There is always a huge conflict, a huge gap between what we want and what the reality of the situation is. A gap it might take more than one lifetime to resolve. So It is very often late or not possible to be what you want to be.
True if you can find the motivation to go for it. As long as you’re still breathing you can try to be whoever you want to see in the mirror. Barring obviously silly exceptions like saying you’re too old to participate in something with a certain age restriction or something like that.
Yeah it’s just, I heard that quote and as a lifelong severely disabled person I’m thinking about what I might have been, what I could have been, even just if the mutation had not been there in my dna, my whole life would have turned around. I would have been running, playing, making friends, dating, swimming. But it was too late. By the time I was born everything was sealed for me. I just wish I could have had a chance to be who I really am and not have ever had this horrible disease destroy my whole life and all my dreams. And that’s why I have no hope. Can’t fix the past and don’t have any kind of future to look forward to. I mean mentally I have grown so much, intellectually speaking, from where I was even a few years ago but the more I learn the more pain there is (seeing how other people are living).

Another tired cliché or another tired platitude, I can’t decide which.

I was suppose to be a world wide martial arts super star and philosopher…..lol and thats not a joke at all.
Needless to say.. I ain’t that guy! He’s long past dead now.
And further more..
I’m glad I’m not that person I might have been anymore. Fuck that guy!
Cause the other side of that equation is that you have to accept the person you are now and not live in the false hopes of what might have been.
I say it’s never too late to accept the life we put up with today
hmmm but what if what I am is exactly what I’m supposed to be?
It’s the realization that “you are all you need to be” in this life, I think is the important step to gaining control over the pain of being (alive)
