@JakeOrthwein >There is no reason for me to eat, there is no reason for me to sleep, there is no reason for me to work, and there is no reason for me to do anything.

Let yourself happen. The way you’ll happen is happy and beautiful and true. Happiness lives in you. It directs every beat of your heart, every thought, every desire, every movement in your body. Absolutely everything. Perfection is moving you. You are now perfect.
