I can light up my own d*mn life. I refuse to wait on someone else to do it for me.
Stop depending on others and circumstances outside of your control to make you happy. You are the most powerful being when it comes to implementing change into your life.
What do you desire to feel? What do you desire to experience? What do you desire to achieve? What do you desire to see? What do you desire to be?
The answers to these questions are all up to one person: you.
Utilize your limitless power to create the life you desire. It sounds cliche, but why don’t you try it and see how things turn around for you?

The only person in your way is yourself. You may think you can blame your unhappiness and dissatisfaction on someone else or your past, but you can’t. You are precisely where you’re supposed to be because of your choices.
Don’t like your current set of circumstances? Fantastic news: you can change them. Now go and do just that.
Recap: Light your own d@mn fire.
