Past tenses actually exist.

So there's this friend of mine who keeps on saying he's afraid of having people see his bad side because they may not like him if they do.

I wanted to shake him to make him wake up to the reality that everyone has a “bad side” and that it’s normal and it’s alright, for Pete’s sake.

Ok. So this guy’s courting my sister and he says he’s afraid that our family might not like him if we know what kind of person he was before. Maybe that’s one of the reasons why he’s so paranoid about having his old bad habits exposed.

But still..

It’s kind of too much to expect a person to be all that clean. I mean, he may seem like the perfect person to us now, but he’s human. Human beings are bound to commit mistakes. That’s a given. And we know that. We live with that fact every single waking moment.

I say, fvck imperfection man. I told him to just be true to himself, and be true to us. Cause even if he was a bad person, we can’t limit him to being a bad person for the rest of his life. We cannot label him as something just because he was that way.

He’ll grow up. He’ll change. He’ll have a choice to either become better or worse.

Thing is people, past tenses actually exist.
