It is tempting to gauge what could be based on what has been, but that only perpetuates what has been. Your history is not your destiny. ~ Cohen, Alan. A Daily Dose of Sanity (Kindle Locations 5861-5862). Hay House. Kindle Edition.

Once you’ve given up
it’s hard to rise again.
You accept that you’ve
given life a try,
and there’s nothing left to gain.
How can you buildup
“knowing” you’re a fuck-up?
But you have help now
from friends, family,
and the Power who can!
Your history can have progeny
you’ll be glad you found!
