From The Confines Of My Mind

"You're a failure," "You will never succeed," "You're wasting your life kid, you'll never make it in this world living like that," "You're never going to be a success at the rate your going." Many teenagers, including myself, hear these claims on a daily basis. It sickens me to the deepest depths of my stomach. I'm here to make a statement to every single person who thinks its okay to say these things to teenagers, such as myself, just because they think we are the pariah of the school or community. Fuck you guys. I will succeed.

I've learned the hard way, time and time again, that you should have no expectations for your life. Take your honest, pure, good intentions, and throw them out the damn window. Do not expect love, do not expect success, do not expect to live a good life. Expect to fail, expect to be lonely, expect to live a life in solitude and shame. If you have no expectations for your life you will always succeed, and you will never be let down.

I'm not telling you to try and fail; I'm not telling you to be a failure; I'm telling you to try your best to succeed, but expect nothing but failure. If you plan to fail at life, and you fail, you've succeeded. However, if you don't manage to achieve your goal of failure, you must have succeeded. Go through your life expecting nothing, but working for everything, and I promise you that your life will be a success.
