Here is what I have realized. You are who you are. And your problems... whatever they may be... are yours and yours alone. Thats what I need to understand.
You can't run away from them. You can't run to Mexico, you can't run to the arms of a lover, you can't even run home. Because most of them are inside of you. And you are who you are.
You can't ignore them. You can't blind your eyes with television, you can't turn your dreams towards better things, you can't pretend everything is just ok.
You can't make excuses for them. You can't say, "I'll fix myself tomorrow." or, "It's how I grew up." or even, "It's not that bad."
You can't stop being you. So whatever is inside of you... first and foremost... be honest about it. Today and everyday, "to thine own self be true."
So tomorrow, give yourself the gift of honesty. Let go of the image you've been projecting and take a good long look in the mirror. Stop trying to hide. Behind the technology. Behind the fantasy. Behind the money. Behind the lust. Behind life itself.
Tomorrow, and everyday, you are who you are.
