Captain’s log: all obstacles are creative challenges testing your strength, perseverance, and ingenuity. You are only limited by your willingness to adapt and grow. You are plastic. You can become any shape you want be. You are pure potential energy waiting to be made manifest.
You are not defined by the limits of others. You are not static noise waiting to be animated into something resembling coherent logic. You have the pen. You write the story. You own the outcomes of your decisions.
You will not sacrifice the goodness in your heart to accommodate the darkness of others. You will always hold fast to your belief in redemption. You will always strive to extend grace even in the face of wrongdoing.
You are not the product of your environment; your environment is the product of you—
Like water that gracefully shapes the stoic stone, carving canyons in the mountains, breathing life into desolation, echoing the song of creation across silent sands.
