Because guys like us, Red, we know there's a third choice. An alternative to staying simon-pure and bathing in the filth and the slime. It's the alternative that grown-ups all over the world pick.

And I guess you judge how well you are doing by how well you sleep at night...and what your dreams are like. ↗

Dare to dream! If you did not have the capability to make your wildest wishes come true, your mind would not have the capacity to conjure such ideas in the first place.

What you believe to be possible will always come to pass - to the extent that you deem it possible. It really is as simple as that. ↗
