I’m not here to make the same old shit

I’m angry because I used to want to be GREAT

But I let self doubt get to me

I gave up on my dreams

“The pattern of dreaming and deferral and compromise is the epitome of a failed life”

FUCK THAT MAN

FUCK MEDIOCRE

FUCK FROGS

FUCK COMPROMISING ON MY DREAMS

Go insane or remain the same

From my journal in 2017

————————————-

usually its easier to change ourselves than to change the world;

easier to change the world within ourselves than to change ourselves within the world.

You bought into the game without even realizing it. Because you needed money for food and a phone and shelter and booze.

You bamboozled yourself. believed too many wrong things.

Think of all the little excuses you made. Lies you told yourself and tried to justify with more lies You're just one big rationalization

some people never stood a chance. Some people have to believe the wrong things just to survive.

You wish you would've compromised less and sacrificed more.

You wish you would've known
