You know at times,
I have been full of excuses and reasons why i stayed where i stayed. Why i put up with what i did. Why I wasn't really getting to where i wanted to be, but when there's a tugging at your soul wanting you to go places you've never been, to experience the things you never have, yet? to be better than who you know you are; You either listen, and follow or stay deaf and hope that tugging stops pulling.
For what its worth,
I couldn't stay where I didn't belong, I couldn't remain feeling like; with a mantra of 'so this is my life' with a heavy sigh at the end and thinking this is as good as it gets while feeling lost, broken inside. I wanted change, I wanted better for my family and for myself.
I came from nothing, am slowly building the life i want and am becoming the person I know I am, inside and out. But I didn't choose change, change sort of chose me when i thought i had no other choice, and change chose me in a very painful way; that's when I ran out of excuses and had to make it work. If i really hadn't, well i don't like to think where i would be right now, because i know i wouldn't be here.
We all have the potential to become the best versions of ourselves, at some point.
to build better lives for ourselves, all you have to do is believe in yourself.
It doesn't matter if no one else does, as long as you do; and if change is on your cards, then it will happen without a doubt - one way or another.
Whatever you aren't changing, you are choosing,
Remember that.
