Can I Make a Request?

Get your head in check. You are not a statistic, and that's not an excuse. You may not worry about this now, but you're fooling yourself if you think that's all that matters.
In real life there is no backspace button. I wish there was, I really do. I look at you and I think of a million incredible places your life could take you. None of them end here, none of them involve this. It's two bad that with your blurry vision you can only make out two options.
Set your sights somewhere between now and forever. If you're only living in this moment then you're missing the big picture, the wider perspective. And if you're only living in forever, then you're missing your purpose in this world.
I don't expect more of you than anyone else. I just expect you, and you are more than this. Don't underestimate yourself either. You're stronger than you think you are and you'll never know your own self control until you exercise it.
A pen has no eraser. Okay, that's a lie, some pens do; but they're really crappy pens and the erasers don't really work that well. Point is, the story of your life cannot be erased or backspaced or scribbled out. You don't get a rough draft or decision-check button. So think first! That's all I ask.
