prove people wrong

“The person you once were isn’t nearly as important as the person you’re trying to become”..

How much do I love this statement?! So people screw up..make mistakes..and sometimes over and over…and over again. But that doesn’t necessarily make them a bad person or a failure. But society only gives you so many chances..and some of us are slow learners when it comes to this topic. It takes just as long to dig yourself out of a hole as it took to dig that hole in the first place..and people are so quick to write you off in today’s society. It’s taken me a while to realize my mistakes and take responsibility for the ignorant choices i’ve made..but atleast i’m doing it now. I won’t ever be perfect..no one will. But at least i’m tryin’ to right my wrongs..which is one step further than a lot of other people attempt to take. So as I travel this road of redemption..I press on not only for myself..but also for the people that still second guess me. The expection of my demise and failure from other people serves as a catalyst for me to prove them wrong. A quote from one of my fav. movies (Elizabethtown..watch it!! It’ll change your life!) sums it up perfectly…

“So you failed. Alright you really failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You think I care about that? I do understand. You wanna be really great? Then have the courage to fail big and stick around. Make them wonder why you’re still smiling. Because that..that is true greatness.”

Nuff’ said.

It is freaking awsome proving people wrong.

And don’t do it for the right reasons like

“I think you’re a good person because”

No you prove them wrong with ideas like

“I’m awesome because”

If you don’t then it is not worth it at all.

It shouldn’t be a goal in the first place. I can’t prove people wrong if I don’t know what their opinion of me really is… it’s too complicated… maybe this goal should really be ‘stop having negative expectations.’

You’re very wrong about me! I’m better than that! lol

i’m sick and tired of people trying to bring me down and me actually letting them do it. i want to be able to stand up for myself and what i want to do. who the fuck cares about what other people think? if i can think that i can do it, i can.

fuck the other people.
