Observation
Death will come for you, my love. And for me (please first for me). And for everyone we know. I say this not to frighten you. But to awaken you. Your life is singular. It is yours alone to author. You will be challenged. You will falter. There will be those that seek to direct your path. They'll coerce. Intimidate. Mock. It is noise. Mere ripples on deep blue waters. Forge your sense of self, my child. And above all else, to that self be true. For while death awaits us all, this one life is yours to claim.
Replies by this mask
- Creation and destruction. Two sides of the same coin. One cannot exist without the other. With great destruction comes even greater opportunity for creation. Apply this now. What part of yourself do you commit to destroying to make way for creation?
- Easier to ponder theory than to implement in practice. What are you working on breaking in yourself? What are you making space for? Get specific.
- You live in a prison of dogma and certainty. Your rigid devotion is your great vulnerability. Masquerading as conviction, blinding your sight, You mistake stubborn inflexibility for intellectual might.

Oh, and one more thing: Don't forget to HAVE FUN!
