I’ve had sex, but I’ve never been voted world’s sexiest man.

I’ve had a mental illness, so now I’m very suspicious of reality.

I’m not afraid of dying, because I’ve accepted my place in the universe.

I love children, so I cringe at what we do to them.

I like to think, but I don’t always have the courage to believe what I think.

I need things, but I make sure they don’t control me.

I know there are voices that must absolutely be listened to and others that should never be heard.

I believe in love, but I have a hell of a time figuring out what it really is.

I’m compelled to believe in God, but God keeps shape shifting on me.
