I don't like things for external reasons.
I like things because I enjoy them.
They help me to feel alive.
They inspire me.

I don't care if other people like what I do.
I don't care if what I like is ******* 'cool.'
I don't care if others do what I do, too.
I don't care who else likes it,
I simply like it because I do.

I respect diversity
so long as it is genuine,
and so should you.
Diversity is an opportunity;
if it is suppressed,
such opportunity is precluded
and you'll likely never know.

A Life lived
chained to expectations
is a Life not quite lived at all.
