Confidence is key. Overriding human instinct and behavior. I am mere muscle tissue, fat, bone, hair and water. I am material. Carbon. As common as sand. I will be confident. I will say what I want. I will do as I please. I will look at the mirror and be indifferent in my response, as though looking at pebbles on a beach. There. Mineral composite. My name is Jonas, I am Earnest, I have no fears but dying not having lived my truth. I am here and was and will be.
