you know when you turn in a 17 page paper that you just wrote (like i just did!!!) and you’re reading it over and it totally rules and you somehow made a really boring & dumb subject seem interesting & smart…

…[trigger warning: abuse] then you remember that fucking piece of shit who used to tell you you were stupid and call you a liar when you wouldn’t say “i’m stupid” and instead said “i’m really smart and you know it” and then yell at you and threaten you until you would finally say you were stupid, just to get them to stop, but they didn’t stop because they didn’t believe that you believed it so they made you tell them why you were stupid until they decided they believed you really believed you were…

…and you think, “i could so tell them to eat shit right now” and then you realize you don’t have to because they are probably still somewhere doing the same things they’ve always been doing, being unhappy in the same ways they’ve always been unhappy, but you are not doing the same things anymore and your life is actually awesome because you are doing things you love and accomplishing rad things and going places.  and you almost feel like you’d feel bad for them if they were worth your pity
