do you suppose it is ever truly possible to escape the circumstances of your birth?
to escape destiny?

your past is always gonna follow you around.
people think you can get better than your past, or at least find a place where no one knows or cares about it.
but the scars are still there and everyone can see those and mock them.

point being, you're not gonna escape your destiny. only choice you've got is deciding how much that matters to you.

[ Honestly, this is his mindset right now. It's surprised him that, up until this point, basically everyone else seems to think differently. ]

what do you mean by 'how much it matters'? how much i resist it, how much i don't, how much i think about it at all?

[Well, someone has to be the edgy pessimist realist.]

exactly.

no matter what, you'll die. you'll either kill yourself or get killed. until then, you'll do whatever the forces that be have in store for you. either you can beat yourself up about it and run yourself dry trying to make things better, or you can save the energy and concentrate on making sure you survive the trip.

sooner you stop giving a shit about what might happen, the sooner you'll start living.

well

said forces that be aren't here at present, and with luck that will stay the case

but i have to return, eventually. so i suppose the rest of it still stands
