people
are most
often judged
by the moments
in which
they've failed
rather than
by the moments
in which
they continue
to choose differently,
when it gives
another opportunity.
The graces of
our second chances
define us more deeply
than the instances
in which we've fallen short
of our ideals,
or other people.
Negative memories
linger longer
and louder,
creating bias
and jaded judgement,
as they cast
a broad blanket
of pessimism
even at the most
delicate
attempts at growth.
Break free
from the constraints
others have placed
upon you;
Be your own judge,
and f**k them all
if they don't see
the difference.
