You’re not carrying extra weight
because ice cream exists.
You’re carrying it
because you keep saying yes
when your goals are begging for no.

You’re not broke
because life is unfair.
You’re broke
because your wallet bleeds
from daily swipes,
late-night splurges,
and calling comfort “self-care.”

The job isn’t the prison.
Your mindset is.
You wait for opportunity
but never chase it.
You blame the ceiling,
never question the ladder
you refuse to climb.

It’s always someone else’s fault,
isn’t it?

The economy.
The schedule.
The cravings.
The President.
The parents.
The past.
The system.

Here’s the truth:
It’s been staring at you
from the mirror
every morning.

The problem isn’t out there.
It’s in the patterns.
In the habits.
In the choices you defend
instead of change.

Until you confront that,
nothing moves.

Own it.
Change it.
Nobody’s coming to rescue you.
You are the rescue.
