Remember to always keep some space open in your heart and mind for the presence of the unimaginable. Do not choose to look at the light. Choose to be the light. Choose to illuminate. Choose the good stuff. Trust that your wildest confettied dreams will all come True. For you know the extent to which you ar(t)e determined. Glow. Believe in your journey. Cultivate your Self— create only with Truth. Be an artist and paint your own treasure. Know that the impossible is usually the untried. Fall down 10 times and stand up 11. Know that the only timelessly beautiful creations are usually seen by the herd as imperfections. So, pay no mind to the herd. Live with a strong resolve not to look into their insane and poisonous mirrors. Shine like the manifestation of the Multidimensional Multiverse that you are. Believe in your Self or else be doomed to live your life as a ghost. Rise. Roar. Yawp! Become so True that others begin to question your sanity—though fear them not. Your Truth will cause them to bloom anger— an anger they will misdirect toward you due to their own failures and realizations that they have lived their lives as slaves. Besides, why give them a millisecond of your time when you are kissing the most beautiful girl in the world, Epiphany herself!
