The Girl who was On Fire

5. Talk about the best birthday you've ever had

I make the most of things. 

There is this extremely simple truth in the way of living - that if you desire a state, if you live it long enough and convince yourself that it is who you are, then eventually, it is that which you become. It isn't merely physical acts and years of training, it is also mental acceptance and a state of spiritual belief. The person you are will not be solely defined by the people around you and your perceived or projected identity. The person you are is your mental companion at three in the morning when the world is silent. It is the voice roaring in approval and support, exploding through your mind as you go through an ordeal. The person you are is the person whose happiness you owe - the sole reason for your hard work, for your crazy nights, for various worldly sacrifices. 

On the liberty of living: find within yourself the person you want to be, and be it. 

It is the greatest existential freedom, to be.
