“You can always find someone to blame, and they do exist, but nobody is stopping you from digging yourself out of that hole.”
— Adil Zhalilov
Scriptonite said this in his 2017 interview with Gazeta.Ru about his album 'Uroboros.' This quote cuts through all excuses and hits the core truth: while your problems may not be your fault, the solution is always in your hands. It's a raw, honest call to take ownership of your life.
In 2013 I was working at a gas station in Pavlodar with my mother, selling beats online for pennies. Everyone around me had excuses, reasons why life was unfair. And they were right, life WAS unfair. But I saw my friends, my people, who knew all the right answers yet kept lying to themselves day after day. I chose differently. I dropped college, packed my bags, moved to Moscow with nothing but my music. I expected nothing from anyone, only from myself. I just did my work and raised my level. If you are stuck right now, remember: nobody is stopping you from digging yourself out.
