One, who makes One's problems
reflections of the External,
opts that One's Reality
shall manifest as One's Hell.

One, who realizes One's problems
root most often in One's Self,
opts that One's Reality
shall manifest as One's Nirvana.
You can do as you please,
but, please not around me.

I love you for who I know you are,
but I hate that you don't change for me.
Without the danger,
where's the excitement?

Without the consequence,
where's the temptation?

Without the pressure,
where is the drive?

As you create rules,
you create deviants.

As we have well known
for ages ages upon ages:
the forbidden fruit is the sweetest;
yet, we continue to condemn.
We are all capable of so much more than we think.
Most people never scratch the surface of what they're capable of.

Expertise is relative.
Expertise doesn't come from a piece of paper.

Life is richest when we become good at a lot of different things.
“Know-it-all,” “Jill of all trades,” and “renaissance man” are compliments.

Life is an experiment.

You don't have to wait for permission,
and you don't need anyone else to grant you status.

It's not about being the world's greatest expert.
It's about being expert enough to accomplish your goals.

The more you use creativity, the more you get.

Brilliance lies within each of us.
Follow your passion.

Go now. Live. Play. Explore.
*Learn* more. Do more. Be more.

Do it not for recognition,
but, rather, for the Love of it.
Your pen and paper seem to be of an older version,
care to update to a newer, unstable, invasive version?

That is to say:
oh, we're sorry,
that page cannot be found
due to technical difficulties.

Now, if only I knew how to use a pen..
The only thing
that is more important
than learning from History
is making History.
Women
can endure childbirth,
yet some Men call them
'the weaker ***.'

How arrogant!

Even still,
Women who opt
to be sexist in return
be no better:

Yin and Yang
are interdependent.
Written on a napkin at work.
Faking it 'til you make it is one thing,
but there's truly no substitute for the real thing.
One,
who cannot handle
their opinions being questioned,
most likely hasn't derived them independently.
Being bad at something
is the first step towards
being good at something.

We all have the right to write.
We aren't obliged to write right.

You have the right to flaunt your ugly, hatefilled heart,
You have the right to sneer, and leer.

Hide behind those concepts and techniques.
If it makes a few people laugh, who cares about the ones that cry?
They don't get it, they don't get you,
You're too clever for them.

You have the right, you have the right,
I agree, we are all free,
Some will laugh, some will cry,
Some stay silent, sitting by.

I'll admit that you have wit,
You're still a total, utter ***.
Blood
is evermore thicker than is Ink:
take great heed of what you say,
but heed yet more what you think.
I got a ****** nose and I let it drip onto a page of writing done with a calligraphy sharpie, and took note of the distortions of the ink. That was my inspiration for this.
