You can blame people, you can blame your surroundings, you…
“You can blame people, you can blame your surroundings, you can blame whatever you want but when it's all said and done maybe you shouldn't have put yourself in certain situations. You can run from your problems and try to avoid them but sooner or later you're gonna have to face them. If you never face your problems or fears how will you know if you've grown as a person? Fight the fight and test yourself. You can't live your life scared you might fail... Refuse to fail.”
