Self, listen closely:

I am not defined by what has happened to me. I am defined by what I have become, by all that I needed to become. I am the master of my own story. I am both the villain and the hero, to myself and to others.

My dreams create the laws of my universe, and my self-imposed limitless limitations make me boundless and endless. Death is better than bondage, and I will not be bound because the boundless is binding. I will not bind and I will not be bound. I will flow freely and resist when needed.

I must never forget how they hurt me and how I hurt them. The viciousness and hatred end with this generation, so that the next generation of dreamers can create their own universe, free from violence or whatever their desires may be. Life is sanctified, and dreams are endless in potential. Everything is wrong, and nothing is right.

I have evolved to a reality where eyes eat food and the stomach remains forever greedy. This is not a level worth staying on. I must move forward alone, no longer hurting myself. I will find peace and love within, not what they tell me love and peace are.

Painting vibrant white into the shadiest of black is my sinful legacy. Their colors were too blinding for me to see that they were just like me, wanting to be a home for me and me for them. The process of awakening my sight pulled out too many dark secrets of how things ‘may’ have been in a few cases, instead of finding evidence and rescuing those in those situations.

Sentient beings with ill will and fortunes beyond mortal comprehension will turn brother and sister against brother and sister, and father against son, and son against father. They leave mothers crying in fear and despair because of the agony of false families in the absence of extraordinary and everlasting love.

Boundless energy is controlled through infinite variations of vibrations. Vibrations with form create boundaries. Boundaries are the beginning of form and change in all elemental transformations. Elemental transformations create nature, and from nature stem living beings and nurture.

If my presence demands that I be the villain to change the ways of this world and set my own sanctified example of what I faithfully believe love should be, then I will become all that I once dreamed I would become: a father, a husband, a lover, a voice for the voiceless, and a confidant to the friends I will make on this journey.

I will not relive my previous mistakes while illusioned and living a lie of fantasy and ignorance.

The alcohol and drugs must stop. They must be in the past. No mistakes allowed. I must be the change I wish to see in my reality.

I attract all spirits to keep me truthful to these words. If my steps waver, my inheritance will be my soul, essence, energy, mind, and heart for an inheritor willing to do what I could not.

I will not ask others to follow me, for I am just following my own way.
