I always blame myself.

I think it is the human condition that everything is our personal fault. I feel it’s important to believe that because it gives us the power to progress ourselves. That being said, we cannot change every single thing about our personality or rewrite our character. There are going to be parts of our nature that are simply permanent no matter what kind of nurturing or conditioning it undergoes.

Still, we are able to adapt to a whole lot more than people are willing to admit and even when it comes to what we can’t adjust, it’s better to take the blame for it anyways. As unfair as it might be to take responsibility for something you genuinely can’t help, that’s the only way to be ready for what you can. Otherwise you have no reason to advance in life since it’s apparently on everything else to do so. We all know that insufferable type of person who can do no wrong.

You should pick the life best suited to who you truly are, but do not hold anything else accountable for your incompatibilities. If you do, you’ll only become some victim who judges and refuses to improve the parts of yourself that could’ve been developed if you had kept an open mind.

The Blame We Bear

I always take the blame—it feels like fate,
As though our flaws are rooted in our soul.
To think we shape ourselves is no debate;
It’s how we strive toward growth and self-control.

Yet change has bounds—our core will not erase,
Though nurtured, pressed, or trained by hand or mind.
Some traits are carved too deep to be replaced,
But much can shift if we are not confined.

Still, even faults that won’t be moved or bent
Deserve our blame, unfair as it may seem.
For owning them, we ready our ascent—
Excuses only stall the will to dream.

Choose paths aligned with who you truly are,
But grow, or you’ll remain your own fixed scar.

@Reject Thanks, but it's AI.
