When you wake up late.
When you procrastinate.
When you fail yourself.
When you fail others.
When you can’t leave the house.
When you’re late paying bills.
When you don’t have a job.
When you’re failing in school.
When you’re not pleasing your parents.
When you hurt yourself.
When you hurt others.
When you lie to yourself.
When you lie to others.
When you love the wrong person.
When you make the same mistake.
When you feel defeated.
When you lose your temper.
When the last time turns into a time again.
When you cheat yourself.
When you’re not good to yourself.
When you don’t have a plan.
When you feel hopeless.
When you hate yourself.
When you’re impatient.
When you tell yourself to give up.
When you stop believing in yourself.
When you lose faith.
When you doubt yourself.
When you forget to say I love you.
“People say I could be the one to change you. You could be a better man for me, and the offer sounds so enticing for a moment. But then I realize, if you wanted to change you would. If you wanted to be someone else you would. No one has ever stopped you before. And even if I could. Even if this is some miraculous world where you love me as much as I love you, it’s still not my fucking job to fix you. It is not my job to hold your hand and tell you right from wrong. I am not your therapist. I am not here for you to walk on in some vain attempt to make you a better person. That’s not love. As much as it hurts, as hard as it is to admit, if you really cared about me, if you ever loved me, you’d change on your own. There would be no ‘making’ involved.
You would better yourself with me. But you won’t, because you don’t.”
