How do I get over the pain of who I could've been?
>had 7th grade math/english skills in 2nd grade
>loved space science, read einstein's 'relativity: the special and general theory' in 5th grade
>always hugged everyone
>wanted to be an example for my little sis
My bipolar mom's abuse got worse but my dad neglected to do anything. Turned to the internet to escape and I've been here ever since. 25 now and I can't help but feel I'll never be someone capable anymore.

The kid you could have been is gone. The adult you are? Just a consolation prize.

Dreams are for people who had a chance. You had reality instead.
