You are a product of your upbringing, your family and friends, the place you call home, and the past of those around you. We exist in a circle, swirling around each other, using our collective centripetal force to draw from one another the lessons found woven into our individual story lines. Remember to filter out the negative, because you are just as susceptible to the disguised demons as you are the apparent angels. Cut dark ties, releasing the tethers of time lost by the repercussions of those actions which we could’ve avoided, if only our eyes were open to the opportunities. Create your own plot-line; don’t let others dictate your contents, especially when you have the chance to choose the person you are and will become. All of us have the same opportunities to be better than those around us, we just have to learn which circle to spin within.
