Before the house you live in was built, there was an empty space, before the tree could provide shade to you, the tree was just a seed, before you were born, part of you existed within two separate people, and when you die, the house, the tree and your body will cease to exist as your mind perceives them today. Be free from the illusion of ownership over, this and that; Wake up, and embrace a reality of constant change, go with the flow, and enjoy the ride, be free today! ↗

You want to do something, you want to have the bravery to do something original. And there will always be people who are like, the classicists who are like, 'No, but it's got to have this.'
