you have got receipts

They say chase passion,

Follow dreams,

Build empires from belief.

But I have learned,

sometimes survival

is the purest form of success.

If what you are doing

keeps the lights on,

keeps your stomach full,

keeps your rent from whispering threats,

then you are already winning.

Do not let loud philosophies

shame your quiet proof.

Bills do not lie.

They do not care for theory,

only evidence.

So double down.

Pour your effort

where results already bloom.

Consistency is not settling,

it is strategy.

Let the dreamers debate

what is “worthy.”

You? You have got receipts.

And that is enough evidence

to keep going.
