It was during those years that I believe that I was the most expressive, and maybe it's because I was 10+ years younger that I was like that, but the more time goes on, the more I feel like those years were more important than I thought. They've been a sort of learning lesson of my life, even now.

A recurring dream I've had of myself is oddly simple - Wanting to be fit, and drawing what I like/love. Maybe I'll see that vision one day. Who knows.
I usually keep thoughts like these to myself, but maybe someone will see this and it sparks a prompt for change within themselves, or maybe this sparks a needed change in myself. Who knows. For some reason, I felt a desire to post this publicly.

The reality is that you should be striving to be a better version of yourself than you were before, not a version others expect of you. You are your own being, and we all progress differently.
