What if you decide who you want to be when you can't change who you've become?

I have changed who I was several times ,,but usually it was to make someone else happy .
My last failed relationship ,,I had no clue who I was anymore
I had actually let someone make me feel so useless that I forgot I am the man
who washed cars to get into my home (I did not get my kids back and a home to raise them in with a social security check ,,I busted my ass ,and I washed cars ,then I managed a car lot when I worked my way back up ,,
I built a pawn shop for a friend and then I ran it .
I came to a city no one wanted me in and made a life on my own ,and alone
I had to fight for my kids ,I washed 30 cars a day to get into my home
But I let someone get into my head and make me feel my life would fall apart without her .and health issues made me kind of afraid to be alone .
I have kids but they have their own lives too .
But when I said enough is enough ,,remembered I have never counted on anyone but God to help me ,and I have done very well
Within months I had my life back on track .
My Kids say they were glad to have their Dad back ,they wondered what happened to me ,,,they never seen me take crap off anyone
I don't know myself how I got like that ,,or why I cut myself off from everyone for 2 years ..
But now I know who I am again and why I live ,life is good again
and its not because I get a little check or needed a woman .
I took care of 3 families at once ,she can't take care of herself to this day
She is still trying to live off my sons check ,that comes from me
but some how I got it in my head I needed her ,,but I have always been easily addicted to something ,I guess show was just another one

A family friend was in prison for 20+ years and came out with a hugeee heart he found again. You can ALWAYS change

Life is about journey, not destination. So better start late than never.

Be who you are, but never shy away from trying for more.
