I wake up early to see through time.

Trying to adopt a more Devil May Care facial expression.

Occasionally freaking out about past failure, instead of actively building my preferred future. Working on improving my focus.

Building a psychological rudder and an emotional anchor to better sail my self-esteem.

Putting on a fancy facial expression for a special occasion.

We have to stop depression from smothering our newly born emotional impulses.

Opportunities aren't perceivable until our self-esteem is strong enough to believe them as options.

We need to apply elbow grease to our optimism.

I realize that I've been living most of my life in the wrong context.

This day is ours, as much as anyone else's.

Let's spend less time not enjoying ourselves!

We need to find the keys to drive our self-understanding.

Hope is a vestigial thread of existential consciousness connecting us to our future potential.

Sometimes I sit on my hopes funny, and they fall asleep.

Truth is always in me somewhere.

We have to observe the endless ways we semantically hurt ourselves through complaining, blaming, and compulsively criticizing less impressive aspects of our existence.

Some mornings, one feels less acceptable to the world.

Flexing our writing muscles at each other.

Only the right kind of stupid please.

Climbing out of my head hole. Blinking in the light.
