Failure

Sometimes, it is easier to just give up. Sometimes, it isn't just easier, it is the right thing to do. It might not feel good at the time, but it might still be the right thing to do.
Sometimes doing what is right really really sucks. And you hate it. And you don't want to do it at all.
And sometimes you realize that even if you want to live for yourself...you really can't.
And sometimes you give up on vices/cut out bad ways of living. And maybe you do it so that someone will notice. And maybe deep down you know that they will never notice. But you do it anyway. That sucks. But it is necessary.
And maybe sometimes you just want to tell someone "happy birthday" but you can't. You've drifted apart too far.
