Nothing lasts forever so; live it up, drink it down, laugh it off, avoid the bulls***, take chances and never have regrets because at one point everything you did was exactly what you wanted.

There was a time when I thought I didn't know who I was
Who I was meant to be
So I looked and I changed
Trying to be what others want me to be
Then
I realized
That I had lost myself
Who I was
Who I was meant to be
I lost myself in the shuffle to find myself
Because I was too blind, too oblivious
To realize and know and understand
That I was me and I was on track to be who I was supposed to Be
Until I let society change me
Make me Change Myself
