The more you know about yourself, the more easier it is to discern what is for you and what isn't..
and knowing who you are changes how you react to anything.
You know your limits, you anticipate failures and setbacks, you overcome blockades and obstacles.
It's a cheat code of unlimited uses.
Then people wonder how you bounce back from shit that would have crippled others.
I have a cheat code, it is that I know how I am and what I want and what I can do none of that is contingent on anyone or thing.”

“What is my goal,
what is my task,
what is my path through life?
Must be this trail
I thread upon,
bringing hope to strife ...
I was born with memory
of the future world,
the one of love and reverie,
the one that once got sold ...
I cried and shrieked,
a little girl,
when losing sight of you,
disbelief at desert land
that I was to walk through.
Rivers, they again will flow,
skies just open roads,
hearts of men again will glow,
light-immersed abodes.”

my well-being worth? What will I
give it up for, at what price?

fame and influence,
likes and followers,
or anything the outside world
has to offer you? Is it not temporal?
Is it worth losing your mind and your well-being?”
