"You've changed."
Of course I have changed. I am no longer the sad, frustrated, misunderstood, repressed individual that you knew back then. I no longer have to pretend that I want a life that I am clearly unhappy with; clear to everyone but myself. I have found the peace of self-acceptance and the courage to want more.
"You've changed."
Of course I have changed. I am older, more experienced, wiser. I have seen the errors in my ways and have worked hard to correct them. I have been consumed by the fires of life and rose from the ashes like a phoenix....
