And
restart too late.
We
cry too early
And
smile too late
Change
"EARLY"
or
it will be too "LATE"

Sometimes
you are the toxic person.
Sometimes
you ar the mean, negative person you are looking to push away.
Sometimes
the problem is you.
And
that does not make you less worthy.

Keep
on checking yourself.
Keep
on motivating yourself.
Mistakes
are opportunities.
Look
at them, own them, grow from them and move on.
Do
better, be better.
You
are human. It is okay.
