I don't care who thinks I'm too this or that, it's not my fault. You
know whose fault it is?! Not mine, I'll tell you that much. Let's just
say this-I remember sitting in church, tears rolling down my face because
I felt that I was doomed. Did anyone care? No. I thought the Christian
thing to do is care. Is this not the 'bible belt'? I'll tell you this
much: whatever I come to believe in my life will be my belief because I
discovered it on my own, on my journey. Not because someone (no matter how
respected they are) told me to believe it. Believing something for the sake
of believing it is dangerous. It leads to rumors, misunderstandings, and,
essentially, lies. Now, is there a person in this room whose life couldn't
be improved had there not been rumors, misunderstandings, and lies? Of
course not. Do you know what these lead to? Regret. Regret is death.
If this is the only sentance you're not only going to listen to, but hear,
then hear it: REGRET IS DEATH!! Remember, most people in your life will
bullshit you because they think they're keeping you safe. At one point, if
you're very very lucky, you will realize that you don't want to be
bullshitted anymore. Then, and only then, will you be safe. Open your eyes,
and you mind. Feel free. Get aquainted with Mother Nature again. Listen
to music. Read books. Get inspired again. Only please, please live. Live
with your mind, body, and spirit. Because without all three, you're dead
already.
