It's a tangled web. Try not to get lost.

No More Excuses

What this world needs is not more scape goats. No more punching bags. Your dog did not eat your homework. Your phone was not dead all day. And "It's not you, it's me" can only be used on the same person so many times before they realize it's a lie - that they really are inadequate. 

What this world needs is for someone to stand up. Someone who will take the fall. Someone who will risk it all to win it all. 

I won't be shut up or locked down, taken out or turned in. I came to play the game and I intend to fight it out. When will you learn that you're all the same? Your excuses have been heard before. You've used them so much that you don't even realize they are lies. 

But in the end that is what we are all doing, aren't we? 
Lying. Denying. Trying. Relying.
Who can you trust, if not yourself? The truth is that we don't know what we want, so we don't settle for anything. We use excuses so we don't have to commit. Keep it vague, and you'll never hurt anyone. But guess what? I'm on to you. I'm on to the whole entire world. I'm hearing excuses and taking a tally. Game over.
