“You realize you didn’t ever want or need half of the things you were envious of anyways. You realize that without everything that life so violently threw at you along the way, you wouldn’t be where you are or who you are today. Your morals, your attitude, your direction, are all a result of the variables and numbers in the equation of your unbalanced childhood. You come to find you will attempt to solve for x or y or z your entire life — trying to fix the inequality, solve the problem. But it will never balance completely, because life will continually fill its spaces with numbers and letters, people and problems, but we change, we grow, we deal.”
