Don't delude yourself, you ain't goin' nowhere

"Oh wow!  Caramelized bananas?!  How do you make that?!"

"Tahini and honey on sweet potatoes?!  That sounds so good, I'll add that to my list!"

"Avocado pudding?!  No way?!  I want to try that!"

Yeah, you do.  But you won't.  Because I know you, I know you're all talk, that you never man up and do it.  That you're too afraid to ever take a step.  That you're too scared to live your life.

Don't tell me what you want to do, I don't want to hear it.  You're a portrait of disappointments and a lifetime of fear.  I can't make you change and I know now you won't, so don't talk like you will.

Because that's the difference between me and you.  When I say something I do it, I step up and take the plunge, I take a breath and then leap off the edge.  I dive into the deep end without a flotation device, I walk into the dark without knowing what's ahead.  I take the risk between sink or swim, between life or death.  Sure it could end badly...but at least I fucking tried.

Don't come to me and whine, don't ask for my advice.  If you're unwilling to change then there's nothing I can do.  I'm not a genie and I'm not going to tell you you're okay, cuz you're not.  You're sick and you're stubborn and you're a scared little girl.

So put up or shut up.  It's time to move on.  Move it or lose it and leave me alone.
