it's always your choice
when you say something mean...it's your choice.
when you do something wrong...it's your choice.
when your attitude is negative...it's your choice.
you can try to blame your background, or your family, or another person,
but you'd be wrong.
everyone has obstacles.
everyone has difficulties.
everyone has hardships.
everyone.
and everyone has a choice.
when faced with negative, choose to be positive.
every time.
because you CAN'T control the world,
but you CAN control you.
