If you ever think you're going to do everything you've ever hoped for in life, you won't. I know it sounds pessimistic, but it's the honest to god truth. Lazy is our fall back. It's programed into our brains and unintentionally stored. It's wasted and abused and never ever forgotten. If you promise yourself that at some point in your life you will stop lying to yourself and own up to the fact that your life is just as messed up as everyone else tries to pretend theirs isn't, you'll turn out alright. You're never going to be what you wanted to be when you grow up, but it'll be as close as you can ever get to that because no one ever gets there. As sad as that sounds, potential isn't thrown out on silver platters, it's earned by working crappy 9-5 jobs or sweaty, nasty fast food work. Yes, final products are bought. That's just the part you don't ever hear. I like to think I can't ever be this way. Like I'll never be touched by something so horrible, but that's because I lie to myself every single day of my life. I look up to those who cannot let others get to them. They fight for their beliefs and stand up for their lives. They grow to levels that are far beyond what anyone thought they would do. There's nothing for them to stand up against because it's crazy to think that anything other than themselves is really all they need to survive. Their friends, however, look out for them like family because they don't choose their friends as often as their friends are chosen for them by accident. You run into people in the halls at school, at the mall any place as crazy as ever and they end up talking and finding similar interests. They are forever known as followers, but in reality, they are the leaders. And that's all that matters because without people to follow, what else are we going to do with our messed up lives?
