Meh has become stamped on your forehead.
You say yes too much, because you dont care enough to say no.
You put up with toxic relationships and people that treat you like shit.

Youve become a bystander to your own life.
Youre letting life pass you by.

All the people youve yet to meet.
All the memories youve yet to make.
All the dreams youve yet to chase.
You may be existing, but to say youre actually living would be a bit of a stretch.
The sidelines have become your comfort zone.
But the truth is, not taking a swing at life will strike you out faster than you think.
Everything you want to achieve has been at your fingertips all along.
You dont follow your heart when you make decisions, in fear of being judged by others.
Without realizing it, youve crafted a life that isnt true to yourself.
Youre in school for something you hate because you want to make your parents happy.
You wont voice your opinion in a group because you think youll sound stupid.
You say yes to pineapple on your pizza because all of your friends love it.
But youre forgetting that you arent anyones puppet.
This is YOUR life after all.
Your family and friends wont have to live with the consequences of your choices- you will.
Do what feels right for you because lifes a bit too short to eat pizza you cant fucking stand.
Your body is here, but your mind is somewhere else entirely.
You show up to your shitty 9-5 job like a zombie.
Your feet find a way to make it home to the boyfriend you stopped loving months ago.
You spend almost every waking moment daydreaming of a reality better than the one youre in.
Settling has become first nature to you because somewhere along the line, you stopped believing in yourself.
You should start again.
Your life has become a script you no longer want to follow.
Its all become a routine youre sick and tired of.
But, youre forgetting that the pen is in your hands.
These pages are repeating themselves because youre letting them.
you’re able to go and explore somewhere new.
you’re free to stop listening to Drake and texting your ex.
you could switch career choices.
Its time to write that new chapter.
Youre doing everything youre supposed to be doing, but you still feel unhappy.
You go to school.
You found a job that pays the bills.
You go out with friends.
You eat overpriced healthy food that you keep telling yourself actually doesnt taste like shit.
Maybe you even managed to get the boy, or the girl.
Youve done everything society has persuaded you into doing.
Youre on your way to fulfilling the American Dream, except it doesnt feel like a dream at all.
Something inside of you is telling you that this isnt right.
You should listen to it.
You constantly feel the need to escape.
We all need an escape from time to time.
You should look forward to your days, not to the chances you get to run away from them.
Youve become indifferent to everything around you.
Meh has become stamped on your forehead.
You say yes too much, because you dont care enough to say no.
You put up with toxic relationships and people that treat you like shit.
To quote every cliche youve ever read, its okay not to be okay.
But, whats not okay is subjecting yourself to the same environments that keep dragging you down.
You reminisce on the past a bit too much.
I get it- you wish you could go back in time.
Things were simpler back then or maybe you want a do-over button.
Maybe theres a decision you made that you wish you didnt or a person you let get away.
The sad truth is that you cant change the past, despite how much you may want to.
The good news, however, is that its never too late to change the future.
Making yourself sick with nostalgia is only keeping you from seeing how much greener the grass can be.
You pour your heart and soul into others.
You dont give yourself enough me time.
You give love to others so easily, but still havent realized that you oughta love yourself first.
You deserve to be a priority.
You cant keep neglecting your own needs.
Putting yourself first for once wont make you selfish or greedy.
You make excuses as to why you dont need change.
Its exhausting and its stopping you from becoming the person youre meant to be.
you’re gonna wanna let yourself grow.
you better let yourself be happy.
