Reputation

by Sara Shepard

And sometimes it doesn’t make much sense who you fall in love with.

I hate how cruel memory can be, hanging on to the things you’d rather forget, dropping those you’re desperate to hold on to.

“People can grow. They can become better versions of themselves. You just have to be bold sometimes; you just have to get up and shake yourself off and be like, Okay, I’m going to do this even though it goes against every ounce of who I think I am. Because I want to try. Or because I think it’s right.”

Maybe the best reputation is no reputation. Maybe it’s best not to care whatsoever how people see you. Maybe the only thing that really matters is how you see yourself.
