has there ever been something, or a multiple somethings, that you did that at the time you knew was right, and just, but then later - maybe after coming here - now makes it a little harder to sleep at night?

a lot of us come from places where we had to do a lot of shit we wish we didn't

but we could still tell ourselves we were doing the right thing

and i still think i was doing the right thing

but here i meet ghosts and i can't help but wonder if there wasn't another way

how do you deal with it, when you can't justify everything to yourself anymore? and that's not a rhetorical question, i honestly want to know




do you think earth has made you a better or a worse person

Again, ultimately it's up to you.

But if you want my answer? Yeah, okay, a bunch of people here who should be dead aren't, and if these people are making you wonder if you did the right thing, that might say something about how right that thing was. Or at least if you couldn't find some other way around it. It makes all those justifications sound like excuses.

I mean, I don't know what your life before Earth was like. Maybe it was justified.
