We are mortal.
Therefore is it a Sin
to limit One's self
(moreover, others!)
based on mere social or ideological climates.
The purpose of this Life
is to realize One's potential.
What that is, however,
must be discovered first-hand.
Yes,
that is to say
One finds One's very own self
burdened with the miraculous gift and curse
of responsibility
to dream, wish, hope, manifest, and work to create
One's own Destiny
One's own Path
One's own Self.
Nary a coward be!
Express thy true Self always,
even if not directly.
Compromise nary a thing
found within thy Self.
It serves a purpose, as does everything.
It plays a role.
It is necessary
for thy journey to come to fruition.
That is to say
it is up to thee
to decide and create
thy own destiny. Fate.
That is, however, not to say
"compromise not with it,"
For that is healthy-
I dare say necessary.
Rather,
It is only to say
"be You,"
now
and always,
while You still can.
"Be yourself; everyone else is taken,"
or, so said Oscar Wilde.
One may venture yet further:
"many of them are overrated.
Do not underrate yourself."
Develop skills.
Meet people.
Experience.
Practice.
Respect.
Balance.
Ponder.
Create.
Laugh.
Listen.
Learn.
Speak.
Think.
Share.
Write.
Read.
Give.
Love.
Wait.
Live.
See.
Do.
Gain.

Teach.
Indeed an ambitious title, but I deemed it appropriate.
I love creative control!
