Last Minute Wisdom or Advice
Everyone, whoever you are, the world is bigger than your perception of it. Your belief of life is not life. I'll be honest, your belief of life is not life. Because why would life give you that opportunity? Life?
Life wants more. Life demands more all the time. Life wants life to continue. You're not that. Not life, you're not life. You're not life.
I can tell anybody who's listening. Believe in yourself. You've all been called. Everyone's been called, called in what way you might be asking. Called in a way in which you might recognize that you're more than how you perceive yourself. More than how you exist now, more than this very rigid way of perceiving your identity, of who you think you are.
Beyond that, right beyond the stuff, beyond the soul, even you're more, you're a lot. Within that, have fun. Guys. Have fun. Have fun. Don't be boring. Fine. I know it's boring. That's all my guy.
