Bad thing Quote by Ash Sweeney

“If you run from your mistakes,if you let them live without facing them they will run after you and the more you make,the more you don't face the more you will have to run away from and they will catch you one day surrounded,with nowhere to go. that day either breaks your or makes you stronger…” quote by Ash Sweeney

“If you run from your mistakes,if you let them live without facing them they will run after you and the more you make,the more you don't face the more you will have to run away from and they will catch you one day surrounded,with nowhere to go. that day either breaks your or makes you stronger. what do you choose? pleasure in the present,the pleasure of running hoping that nothing bad will come after you,hoping bad things you've done don't know where you are meaning you are safe? or pleasure in the long term where you face each one of those mistakes,where you turn that mistake into something positive,something that gives you self-respect? either way it's your choice. but don't let your choice be stolen by them... cause you will lose too much...too much…... and then the only thing that can save you is yourself,is not caring,is acceptance,its hope and its courage. these friends,these are your true friends,you are your best friend. because as you know,real friends are known,are helpful during the darkest times. that's unless you have an enemy inside you,one that sabotages all these friends and makes them shut up.. well my friend,then you have the biggest problem of your life which only you know how to turn from an enemy into an ally,into a friend! sacrifice,manipulate that enemy which seeks false pleasure and then live your best life,your best moments,your best traits!”
