There are these stories that we tell ourselves, the story of who we are, the story of what we do, the story of where we come from.

You are not the colour of your skin. You are not the genitals you were born with. You are not your job. You are not your favourite music, your shoes, nor your car. You are not your material wealth. You are not the story you tell yourself, or the stories others tell of you. Your politics, religions and philosophies are irrelevant distractions from your ultimate demise. The only thing you will ever definitely be is dead (one day). Until then you are everything and nothing at once. There's no way to prove any of this is real. Like a lucid dream you can take a certain amount of control of your reality. The rules are all made up, the morals are majority vote (usually the violent majority). Consequences are unpredictable, and time is hunting you down. Make today different than yesterday, be someone else, be someone amazing. Your idea of amazing. Be your best creation. I believe in you.
