You realize that you have overcomed so much in such a short period of time.
You realize that you have surpassed expectations, have lived up to expectations, and have fallen short of expectations.
You realize that you have never made everyone happy, and that you may never be able to make everyone happy, but you can make yourself happy.
You realize that you have failed at things and they have made you a better person because not accomplishing it the first time doesn't mean you never will.
You realize that you almost gave up and quit instead of sticking it out through the fight, because it looked like life was crashing around you.
You realize that there were and are people there for you and support you, and that those who never have/did won't be there in the end.
You realize that the past is exactly that, and that it will only affect your future if you let it.
You realize that challenging yourself is a requirement.
You realize that you may not get hurt again if you let your heart out from behind the wall; if only because this time you trust the one who holds it.
We all have these moments where we look back at who we were and realize that it isn't who we are. Sometimes, that's the most important moment of them all.
