It's Not My Story Anymore: Whenever I Speak About The Past Now, I Feel As If I Were Talking About Something That Has Nothing To Do With Me. All That Remains In The Present Are The Voice, The Presence, And The Importance Of Fulfilling My Mission. I Don't Regret Difficulties I Experienced; I Think They Helped Me To Become The Person I Am Today, I Feel The Way A Warrior Must Feel After Years Of Training; He Doesn't Remember The Details Of Everything He Learned, But He Knows How To Strike When The Time Is Right.

And Whatever Happens Or Doesn’t Happen Will Be Equally Gratifying, Knowing That You Are Capable Of Love Is Enough.

We Are Not Worshipping Anyone Or Anything, We Are Simply Communing With Creation.

I Recalled How Much Time I Had Spent Fighting For Something I Didn't Even Want. Maybe Because I Had Been Too Lazy To Think Of Other Avenues To Follow. Maybe Because I Had Been Afraid Of What Others Would Think. Maybe Because It Was Hard Work To Be Different.

We Are All A Little Weird And Life's A Little Weird, And When We Find Someone Whose Weirdness Is Compatible With Ours, We Join Up With Them And Fall In Mutual Weirdness And Call It Love. Time Is Too Slow For Those Who Wait, Too Swift For Those Who Fear, Too Long For Those Who Grieve, Too Short For Those Who Rejoice, But For Those Who Love, Time Is Eternity.
