I don't want to be a product of my environment.
I want my environment to be a product of me.
Years ago, we had the church, that was only a way of saying, we had each other. Twenty years after an Irishman couldn't get a fucking job, we had the presidency (may he rest in peace).
Thats what they don't realize, no one give it to you.
You have to take it.
When you decide to be something, you can be it.
Thats what they don't tell you in the church.
When I was your age they said we can become cops, or criminals.
Today, what I'm saying to you is this: when you're facing a loaded gun-
whats the difference?

The difference is in the regrets, do you feel like you did everything you could have to be the person you wanted to... when your facing the final darkness it becomes very hard to keep lying to your self! For those who survive, some let truth guide them to better versions of themselves while some bury it even deeper opening the wounds even more to do so!

What they do tell you is to follow, and be a lamb. Deny what you are, and be what is expected... because we don't like surprises. When it all falls away at the end of the day, and all the lights go out, there's naught but darkness... and you. That's when you can get your answers. "Who am I?" What am I here for?" My answer: "No one but me.." and I continue with a grin, "I'm here for yer daughter, Chuck!"
