We may think there is willpower involved, but more likely... change is due to want power. Wanting the new addiction more than the old one. Wanting the new me in preference to the person I am now.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Wir denken vielleicht, dass Willenskraft involviert ist, aber wahrscheinlicher ist, dass Veränderungen aus Machtgründen entstehen. Die neue Sucht mehr wollen als die alte. Ich will das neue Ich lieber als die Person, die ich jetzt bin.

I'm not the same person I was. I used to act dumb. It was an act. I am 26 years old, and that act is no longer cute. It is not who I am, nor do I want to be that person for the young girls who looked up to me. I know now that I can make a difference, that I have the power to do that.
