the song has begun to settle down into the back of my memory. it's still very much there when situations arise, but i've really solved a lot.
i've accepted that there are things i cannot change. people i cannot change.
and realized maybe i need to just separate from those circumstances.
i'm laying my superman complex down, realizing that maybe i just need to stop trying to save the world one person at a time. especially when it's clear they don't want to be saved. it feels like shooing insects away from an open flame; they become disoriented and end up right back where they were before they almost destroyed themselves.
it's not that i don't want better for them anymore, i still do. but all of that really tore me apart little by little. was i doing something wrong? was i just not good enough? no, that wasn't it. however, it took me years to realize that..
i can change the world without killing myself one piece at a time.
