Fro Monologue

It would be nice to be able to travel back to when it was just me, my family, and good times. There was no overthinking. No constant “bad choices” I’d face. The worst choice I could make was to not eat my vegetables. I was, for the most part, your typical kid, and man its good to be a kid. My dad told me that I was my own hero, and that nothing could stop me, and I truly believed him. As I began to grow up I realized that I had too many barriers to do what I wanted, so I may as well settle for mediocre…but that’s not true. If at one point I believed that I could do anything, then why undermine myself now? If playing the hero as a kid taught me anything, it was that I have to figure out how to use my demons to make myself prosper. To use the cruel words I’ve buried in my head to push harder and prove to myself that I can do anything. I’ve always thought I knew how to welcome change, but now I am learning to truly embrace change. To be brave, take hold of the wheel and use that change to power my engine, not slow it down. I can’t give up. I can’t let myself be consumed by something and let it take all control to the point where I can’t believe in reaching my full potential. I’m strong enough to keep pushing through anything, no doubt about it. The strength I have today I will carry with me forever. I must strive for my goals each and every day. What can I do now? What can I fix now? What can I change now? Everything. My mind is the most powerful tool and it’s answer is everything. I want to feel the satisfaction and peace that comes from loving life. My family needs to benefit from my existence, my knowledge, my heart today. I need to fix my impatience as of this moment. Not tomorrow, or the next day. My regrets will become my lessons, and my focus will no longer be on re-doing something I simply have no power in changing anymore. If I’ve been approaching conflicts, or even life the wrong way, I need to reevaluate my strategy. I can’t change the past, and the future isn’t guaranteed, but I can choose my next move. That is my choice, and no one else’s. Now is my time to take life by the horns. Now is my time to Live.
