I realised it was only me who was stopping myself from living my life.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I stopped living according to my core values. I knew what I was doing was wrong but thought only about myself and thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to.
I don't think I could live with myself if I stopped trying.
I realized my life was not going to be, per se, normal.
I just decided I wanted to become someone else... So I became someone else.
I was dying but suddenly had a second chance at living.
I didn't want to give up my career. That's what kept me alive, kept me going. I couldn't stop - didn't want to stop - being all these different characters.
I was just living my life, and that's what I wanted to do.
I used to believe I was going to live forever. And then you suddenly become aware that you're not.
I realized that I've lived half my life already, and it's time to believe in - and stand up for - myself.
There were a lot of people, I found, who'd rather watch me live my life than live their own life.
