| Bio: | "What beauty we see in this world, both real and imagined, is ours alone to behold. Through the trials and triumphs of life, our perception of the ideal is molded with each passing minute, every experience altering the delicate fabric of our emotions. What, then, are we to do? Our real feelings, the deepest secrets that most threaten to betray our truest nature, are such that we ultimately have no control over. How does one confront this brutal truth? Quite simply, the answer is to let go. Let go of your fears. Let go of your "reason." Let go of your multitude of faces, pretensions, and public airs. Make no excuses. Have no regrets, for it is these regrets that you will come to resent the most. Why do we, as humans, feel the compulsion to hate ourselves? Why do we constantly strive to attain an impossible perfection? I say that the virtues of self-deprication are wholly overrated. What kind of world is this, where you can list all of the things you would change about yourself in an heartbeat, but when you are asked to name something you love, you hesitate, even for a moment, trying to decide? It is all too easy to hate; to truly accept yourself shows the greatest fortitude of character. Forget your belmishes and bumps, your scars and your dips. Focus on your heart and mind, your strengths and your soul. Too often we look without seeing, talk without speaking, listen without hearing. We focus on the surface, rarely roused from our personal Avalon's to venture into the unknown. What treasures are we missing? Go forth into the world with confidence, and ignore all those who cast doubt in your path, for they are the blind ones, the lazy ones, the foolish ones. A life lived in seclusion is but a shame of an existence. It is we who must fight through the fog and mirrors to see the truths within." - Anonymous
"I have fought the good fight;
I have finished the race;
I have kept the faith."
