Once again, I realize that many things in this world I am unsure of. Blessed with countless opportunities to excel and rise above the noise of the crowd. Chances slapped right across my face, and yet my constant excuse? I’m only human, Y.O.L.O (you only live once), constant procrastination, lack of persistence and commitment. Why? Why is it that when I’m presented with the chance to grow up and live a life much deserved but then again have no effort to gain it. Do I cower in the shadow of my potential, waiting for nothing to happen? Taking a half hearted approach to some but not all aspects of my life. A life built upon the hard work and sweat of my parents and their parents, parents. Strong values and beliefs which they nurtured into me, making the very being that I am today. I cannot take up these narrow gaps of escape any more. Its time take a stand and feed my ambition! Get so enthralled in it that I lose myself in my own success. Get so enticed by it, that the need to succeed supersedes the need to breathe.

Real eyes, recognize real lies
