Politics to me was the whining of an old braggart too proud to admit his faults and too vain to try something new. All of their agendas and manifestos were nothing but a lucrative offer to deceive the fools and encourage the clever in deceiving more fools.

Dear past, I survived you. Dear present, I’m ready for you. Dear future, I’m coming for you.

I will ignore those who ridicule me.I will ignore those who undermine me.I will ignore those who undervalue me.I will ignore those who envy me.I will ignore those who disparage me.I will ignore those who betray me.I will ignore those who wrong me.I will embrace those who mentor me.I will embrace those who support me.I will embrace those who celebrate me.I will embrace those who improve me.I will embrace those who inspire me.I will embrace those who motivate me.I will embrace those who love me.
