Get on with it!

I am at a point in my life where I feel like I’m having a constant existential crisis, where I am sick of feeling like I have no control.  My life is somewhat desolate. I have built everything upon sand where the tide is quickly washing everything away. I don’t want to feel like this. The only reason I do is because of me, oh, how I’d love to pass on the blame. But truly, it is me who is at fault. Well, then surely I am the one to fix it!?... How?

And so begins my ultimate challenge; the challenge of getting out of this hell-hole.  I say this to myself almost every day, but I do nothing to solve it. WHY!?! If I am truly not happy, why won’t I solve this! Well, I have lacked motivation in the past; felt constrained by relationships and circumstances. But now, I am on my own, standing on my own two feet. Shit, when did that happen?

It happened because in the past I was lazy! So damn lazy. Yet now, I have fixed my physique, become healthy, quit smoking, got a job (Even if it is shit), have a roof over my head, I write more, draw more and feel sometimes like I can win, I can achieve my goals. It boils down to my mentality! It’s in my fucking head, heart and balls. Use them. It’s about time I used this new found strength, truly got off my ass and took my life to where it belongs!

I’m a creative person! I’m an artist in your own god damn right!?I need to stop holding myself back and just go for it! Remember that in life, we fail so that we can succeed! Failing is only learning to WIN!

It’s February, I have until December to get a new job and be on my way to my true life aspirations.
