…I see things I don’t want to see.

When I look in the mirror,

I see something I only wish I could be.

As I look in the mirror, I see visions of a life wasted. I see dreams that I could have achieved, but instead, I think back to my wasted days of procrastinating, making the wrong choice for education after high school, and scrolling through social media instead of doing, learning, and reading.

I swear I saw myself lying in my death bed, full of regret. I couldn’t stop the thoughts racing through my mind. “What if I had done things a little differently? What if I had actually fulfilled that dream? I wasted this life because I was too afraid of failing. Now I’ll never know what could have been.”

Then I shake my head from the trance. It’s time to hustle! I only have one chance to get this life right.
