You ever feel like a tortured soul? But at the same time feel like an idiot because the torture is being imposed by yourself? You're too critical, you're too negative, and you just can't snap out of that mood

I definitely get too critical and negative and angry and neurotic sometimes, and I have to remember to take a step back and calm down. When I was in elementary and middle school I said that finding out who you are was stupid because you can only be yourself- you can't be anyone else. But around 9th and 10th grade I realized that you can be someone else, and a lot of people are. I remember there was a day that I wrote a prose piece about finding myself and I thought "ohhhh, so that's what everyone meant when they said that." It was weird, all of a sudden it just hit me

I love that entry. I'm reading this book right now and its about how everyone wishes others could be just like them so they always try to change them. For instance, how parents want their kids to be a mini version of themselves. It had the most beautiful paragragh.

"Remove the fangs of a lion and behold a toothless lion, not a domestic cat. Our attempts to change spouse, offspring, or others can result in change, but the result is a scar and not a transformation."
