Change is a Choice

"Don't play with fire, you might hurt yourself"
What's a little burn once in awhile?

Naturally the body heals and where that burn once was a scar is formed, making the burned area tougher than it was before.

It took a lot of burns to get me to where I am today. A rational, independent, free-spirited person. I don't subscribe to the makeshift happiness that the world wants us to fall for. My happiness comes from within. Not the bottle of pills sitting on the top shelf, not the hopes and dreams of love that society clings to...

I've seen it all. In this minuscule lifespan I've heard more bullshit than you can imagine. When you dig deep down you realize that none of it matters at all. It's that long drive on the way home with the music turned all the way up, tears running down your face realizing all the petty things that tore you down the most really don't matter anymore.

I live my life for me, and if something doesn't bring me contentment I rid myself of it. I choose not to live my life waiting and hoping for things to get better. I make them better... I've experienced enough pain that I should not have to willingly expose myself to it.

It may be selfish, but it's healthy.

Life sometimes feels like a record stuck on the same loop. You have to be strong enough to push yourself onto a different track. So maybe I've found a few little scratches along the way but I forced myself to move past them. I refuse to allow my life to be on repeat to that same broken record, the more you play it, the more weathered it becomes...
