two roads diverge in the woods, take the one less traveled? or follow your nose?

the nose knows! Instinct tells me that I stink. I need to be something else. I need to find the me that isn't scared, that does what he needs to do. I need to pull my head out of my ass and really commit to the fact that I am a good person and can do what this life needs me to do. I am in a place, standing on a precipice looking down on what I can make of my life and I am seeing too much potential to stop short of anything less then greatness.

right.

and now I really need to think about what that actually entails. I didn't treat Elisse the way that I wanted to be known as treating anyone, she wasn't a saint either, but I need to quit taking what I have for granted.

wait one damn second there.

that's it. My life has been one thing after another given to me. I need to start taking what I need from this life not waiting around for everything to come to me. I really need to find the part of me that isn't lazy. Find the part of me that gets off on being perfect about everything I possibly can be.

and I will try not to listen to another instinct, leftover from years of suppression of my emotions. That little mug holding devil that stands over me and tells me that I will never be enough, that I can't do a single thing right, and I will always fail, because that is what I do best.

That demon has no power here anymore, over me or any part of my life.
That is what will allow me to move forward.
