I want to begin by acknowledging the immense time and energy I have poured into this study. It has taken me hundreds of hours to put everything together, as I spent countless days and nights in the depths of research, video production, and writing. I’ve invested thousands of hours crafting the free books I’ve offered to you so far; everything I do is designed not only to share knowledge but to awaken souls, to break the chains of control, and to guide each of you toward the truth that is hidden beneath the surface. I apologize for the delay in bringing this to you; the weight of this work requires deep reflection, profound research, and the careful crafting of every word, every thought. This is not just a post, not just a message; it’s a call to action, a sacred transmission that demands to be heard by every heart still bound by ignorance. I don’t share this for praise, I don’t seek accolades. I only ask that you allow this to stir your soul, that you feel the message within these words; because if you feel it, it will resonate with your very core. Everything that I have created, every video I’ve made, every book I’ve written, is not just knowledge; it’s a frequency, an energy designed to break the barriers that have been built around our minds. This content isn’t just meant to inform; it is meant to awaken, to shatter the programming that has been imposed upon us for generations. And that is why I must ask you, as you read these words, to not just passively consume them. I ask you to feel them. Feel the urgency. Feel the truth. This is not something you can ignore. This is a message for every soul who has been deceived, for every mind that has been conditioned. This is not just a story; it is your story. The story of the human race, fighting for its very survival, its connection to God, its resonance. THE WAR ON RESONANCE is real. It is not just a metaphor. It is happening now, and it is not happening by chance. They have tried to silence us, to steal our essence, to suppress our divine truth through every means possible; through technology, through manipulation, through biological warfare. But here is where they made their fatal mistake: they underestimated the power of memory. They thought they could sever the connection between us and God. They thought they could extinguish the very thing that makes us human; the divine spark that lives in each of us. They thought they could turn us into hollow vessels, devoid of soul. But they are wrong. Because no matter how much they try to manipulate the frequencies, no matter how much they try to program us, there is one thing they cannot erase: our ability to remember who we are. They cannot erase our connection to God, our connection to love, our connection to truth. We are waking up. And when enough of us awaken, their entire system will collapse. Not because we “fight back” in the traditional sense; but because our souls will radiate a frequency so pure, so true, that their control will disintegrate in its presence. It is already happening. But we need your help. We need you to share this message, to carry this truth forward. It is not just a responsibility; it is a divine calling. The more of us who awaken, the more this system will crumble. It is already starting to happen. And that is why I am asking you... no, urging you; to like, share, and follow. Share this message with everyone you know. Let them feel the truth. Let them remember. Because this is bigger than us; it’s about saving humanity, reclaiming our divine birthright, and restoring what has been stolen from us for so long. And when you share it, you are not just sharing information. You are sharing a frequency; a wave of truth that can never be stopped. Every person who reads this, every person who feels it, is another soul who is waking up, another soul who is remembering their connection to God. So I ask you now, with all my heart: Do not let this message die here. Take it, carry it, share it. Because when we all awaken; together... the chains will break, and the truth will reign supreme. This is not the end. It is the beginning. Wake up. Feel God again. Remember who you are. This is our fight, and together, we will win.

Timing is everything, isn’t it? And sometimes being in the right place at the right time feels well, timely, or even predetermined. With wildlife photography, it’s all about being in the right place at the right time. The more you know about your subject, the better because it increases your chances of being where you need to be when you need to be there. There is also an element of just letting go and taking what is given to you. It’s always best to have no expectations at all when it comes to wildlife. On this morning, everything did fall perfectly into place, and I was able to capture this dreamy scene of a beautiful Dalmatian pelican and its reflection on smooth water as it came in for a landing. Oh yeah, the glorious snow-capped mountains in the back were definitely a treat too. The days prior to this, that mountain range was hidden by clouds. I didn’t even know it was there. 🤪

It’s not a conspiracy theory. I have seen it first hand—aborted fetuses are used in medicine, and almost no one even knows. That’s right. Aborted fetal tissue is used as a starting point in the development of certain medications and medical products. And when you step back and think about it, serious questions begin to arise. Do you believe this is ethical? And knowing what we know about the pharmaceutical industry, does this increase the chances that women are pressured into abortion—or worse, handed faulty tests that convince them it’s medically necessary? Layer that with the reality of a diagnostic industry built on fear, a marketplace for human body parts, and pharmaceutical companies profiting from fetal tissue—and the picture becomes clear. Aborted fetuses are a commodity. And Big Pharma is the buyer. The only way to truly step outside of this system is not to rely on it at all. Stop outsourcing your health to an industry that profits from your body. True health does not come in a pill or injection—it is available to you when you reclaim your authority over your body and your choices. All you need is the right knowledge and the discipline to act on it. Click below to get started.

When you learn the fundamental law it is important to get in front of your government servants in the presence of the people to teach both the people and your servants that the people have all the power , that your trustees are there to benefit the people , to tell them where they are falling in danger of maladministration, what the law is and how to correct it. It is in exercising your power and right that brings forth a paradigm shift like none you’ve seen before. Doing this flips your local state and federal government back to the people as the people learn and start joining you in speaking the law. It becomes no longer about complaining about the issues but using your power and authority as it is written to correct and bring the change necessary to secure our republic for yourself and for the common good of all. This is not only our right but our duty to teach our trustees what their job is. Many say they won’t listen or live in fear of what they may do, but as you can see here I spoke in front of police officers and our trustees and I was not detained or restrained from standing on my authority. I also was not called a sovereign citizen and the outcome of getting the people to stand with me in signing those notices and serving them made our county board do right by the people and not pass the mandate. There’s a reason Ben Franklin said “ a republic if you can keep it”. He was saying it’s on the people to maintain what they secured for you. The people need to show back up and run their nation the way our founders laid out in all 51 constitution they penned. Everyone is searching for remedy but most don’t look in the 50 state constitutions that expressly declared our power authority and rights. Your remedy is there, the only question is will you use it? If you want to learn how to stand learn from my teacher DavidJose who is the best in the nation and has given the people victory teach line by line precept upon precept. Let’s go get our nation back!

Today is a big day for me, as Im part of this Pudgy Penguins family spread across all corners of our world. The 5th anniversary sounds powerful and truly magnificent! It’s a day just like any other because the rhythm of life doesn’t change, we continue build, support, evolve, and bring new members into our Huddle. BUT today is a special occasion to congratulate every huddle holder. Every community member has their own story, and that’s what makes this journey unique. We experience the ups and downs together; we are all human with real feelings and emotions, but we always support each other. This is what turned our community into a family. For this anniversary, I just had to do something special. Huge thanks to everyone who supported me and made this a reality. Take a look at this art, feel its scale, try to guess every penguin drawn, and find your own meaning in it. See what you want to see. I poured my soul into this idea! Yes, some might say it’s not Miami and we can’t see it in person, but the day will come when something like this happens in Miami too. Thank you for your support. Love you all, friends. This is not the end. And yes, if you want to immortalize this art as NFT, link on FREE mint in the comments 👇

my new song “BREAKDOWN.” is out on the 21st of June!!! 🖤🖤🖤 I wrote this poem because it’s been the hardest year for my mental health. In my life I’ve always never felt good enough, it’s just the thing that’s eaten me up. For as long as I can remember i have felt constantly afraid of how quickly my head can turn dark. It’s always been so hard to fight the darkness that i inevitably have. A lot of people will say it’s a phase and it will go away. But it doesn’t and the reality of the situation is I have to find strategies to deal with it. To put it plainly the things I don’t like about myself will probably never change, people tell me one day I’ll come-to terms with them one day but I want that day to be FUCKING NOW. This song is a message to myself to try and exist alongside my insecurities and my darkness by grounding myself and remembering what is real in life and the world is so much bigger than me. Try and get out of your head and notice the world around you, notice the things and people around you. Connect with them, the chances are they probably feel the same. Don’t let the bullshit inside your head consume you. It just wastes precious time. Remember what is real. Help people, be kind, help the world, help yourself. If you think you can’t do it, you can. You can get through this, trust me. Use this poem in a mornin to get u out of bed, use it when youre about to back out of something last minute, use it when you’re at your darkest. It’s got a little bit of light in it. Don’t forget to put your feet in the grass … Mind

Arteta on his role to re-energise the Arsenal team. 💪 “Certainly, when you lose a game, you have a lot of feelings because, especially, this group of players are so competitive and they seek for excellence and when you don't reach it, you ask yourself questions, and we did that. “But I think my role there as well is to bring optimism and reality about where we are, and yeah, our club has a long history. And to find a moment where, in February, we're in the position that we are, is very difficult to find. So guys, we are doing so many things so well, and let's focus mainly on that. And for sure, we want to improve, we want to be better in every area, but with that sense as well of self-confidence and conviction that we are in the right path. Anyone need to lift Arteta? “No, in these moments, no. Normally, I'm the opposite and when we are doing so well, I'm there with a stick to say, 'This is not good enough,' 'This is not good enough.' The other day, no, because I know how much they wanted the amount of games and the demands that we put on those players every day. “In those moments, they need to understand and feel that we are right behind them. I'm mainly responsible for that and they keep playing with that freedom, with that enjoyment, as I discussed the other day, and I make sure that that journey is beautiful because what is ahead is great and everybody has to be part of that but in a good sense and with good humor and with good optimism and looking forward to it.”

Your daddy’s not saying train all the time for nothing, my son. It’s on us and only us to build to the level where we have the stamina to go up and down these pitches at pace, all day long! What we wish for, we have to work for! Take this vision. This is it. In the flesh. Serie A league champions, home stadium. The Diego Armando Maradona stadium. I used to kick the ball against the wall outside your Nannie’s and visualise the sky as the crowd! Cheering me on! You have it exactly as it is here though! The perfect picture. The full stadium. The seats. The net. The magnitude. You’re welcome. Do you want to make it a reality though? Or is it just a little day dream occasionally? And that is fine if that is what it is. But if it is that, don’t ever think of it as becoming reality because it never will be. It is only a day dream without the constant, consistent work to support it. You want it, work for it! Here it is.

Idk how many more ways I can express how bullish/ obvious $RICH is or how perfectly this works, but I’ve done my best to ensure no man, woman, or child is left behind haha. It’s just crystal clear to me. It’s the premiere normie coin on the top normie trading platform. It’s exactly what all normies want from a memecoin- it’s like rocket fuel on a pile of wood chips. Abandon the neurodivergent voice in your head and embrace the neurotypical whisper guiding you to glory. Just for a second, imagine this once it’s at 100-200 mil, and people are getting RICH (especially people who bought on Moonshot) that’s when this narrative explodes and the real ascension/ mindshare domination begins. That’s when this fulfills its destiny/ achieves its higher purpose- and is slingshotted into the stratosphere. Total frenzied bullish madness is what I want. My body is ready. Everyone wants to get rich quick and now they can.

A for Almajiri Education is the foundation of any functioning economy, and Nigerians are some of the most intelligent people in other countries but with most out of school children on planet earth. As a basic human right, it is the responsibility of the whole society to not only advocate for modern curriculums that have practical and realistic value in sustaining the economy of that society in the future, but to hold their leaders accountable when they don’t invest the appropriate resources and relevance into education. This is the reason why Almajiri still exists today in 21st century, while religious education and modern education can be attained together using curriculums that are realistic and set a foundation for the future of the students and their society. Today, I taught my primary 2 students how to make a PPT using iPads. Giving presentations and using smart devices are now common in professional work places and it’s important that start giving my kids those skill sets at a young age. It will build their work ethic, confidence, realistic expectations in life and navigate them to seamlessly fit into any professional environment they find themselves in now and the future. An important teaching approach I use here is to show them less of how to do it, and just throw them into the situation to see how they can find their ways and create solutions. Only when they need help is when we show them how to do it. It makes them used to problem solving, resilience, less likely to be lazy and dependent. They themselves will be strong to initiate tackling an unknown problem and develop confidence and humility in asking for help or knowledge when they need it. Nigeria needs proper budget allocation for education and modern/designed curriculums that are useful to students and the country in the future. Vote for leaders who will enthusiastically execute these policies. If they don’t, impeach them and take any necessary action against them because they are not only destroying your economic future, but your children’s future as well. This is my idea. What must be done to fix education in Nigeria? Let’s hear from you in the comment section.

Tu B’Shvat is a holiday which is deeply tied to the land of Israel. It’s a reminder that Judaism is an indigenous faith rooted in the seasons and the fruits of this land. The seven species mentioned in the Bible, wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and dates, aren’t just symbolic. They represent a tangible connection to an ancient agricultural heritage and the physical land that shaped Jewish identity. In the Middle Ages, the custom developed to celebrate Tu B’Shvat with a feast of fruits. And in the 16th century, the Kabbalist rabbi, Yitzchak Luria, instituted a Tu B’Shvat seder, which is similar to the Passover seder, in which Jews all over the diaspora were able to reconnect to the land of Israel through eating her indigenous fruits. According to Kabbalah, when you eat fruits from the trees, it helps a human soul evolve. And Judaism is about being present to every single thing that you do and everything that you eat as well. Tu B’Shvat reminds us that Judaism and the land of Israel are inseparable. The roots of the Jewish people are right here. And to celebrate Tu B’Shvat is to celebrate Zionism, not as a modern political movement, but as a profound acknowledgement of a people’s enduring bond with the land of their ancestors. The land of Israel isn’t just a backdrop to Jewish history. It’s part of the story itself. And every seed sown, every tree planted, and every fruit harvested and eaten is a continuation of that story. Chag Tu B’Shvat Sameach, everyone. 🍃

When I am at the gym and I see somebody’s water bottle there or a towel or something. I know they just stepped away for a moment and that the machine is occupied. Out of respect I won’t move it out of the way only for them to come back and have to explain themselves anyways. This young lady on the machine left her water bottle on it because she stepped away for a moment to use the restroom only for somebody else to come by and try to use it in her place. Would you have understood the etiquette or is it just a free for all? When I first started working out I was unfamiliar with the gym etiquette. Some people just got done with a hard set and need to stand up and walk for a few moneys or get a drink of water and they use it as their rest period so that they can go back at it. Interrupting that process is the same thing as booting them off the machine mid workout. It’s rude and uncalled for but why does it keep happening? I think what it is, is that some people are very judgmental, they see others and think that they are more serious about working out than the other person so that to them it means they are entitled to use it first because their workouts are more important. I used to let them do that to me but no more. I treat it as first come first serve, if they don’t want to wait then maybe they need to avoid the gym during peak hours. This is the very reason I work out in the middle of the night most of the time. I rather not be bothered and if I need to take my time I can, most of the time nobody else is even there anyways when I go.

My advice on travelling to NEPAL: “Don’t come to look at the mountains, come to have the mountains look at you.” For thousands of years people having been coming to the Himalayas……seeking, pilgrimming, questing. Hoping to “see” the great Mountains of Myth, and what you will find is that the mountains have been seeking to see you. Calling you to them, you have heard it in your soul, the great songs of dreams. Some people come as Kings, and the Himalayas will show them what being a beggar is. Some people come as beggars, and are shown the riches of a Life. This is Myth playing out in real time, no matter how modern the world of humans seems to get, the Himalayas are timeless and always watching. People have come to these mountains, and from them learned Yoga asanas, people have come and have died, people have come and found freedom……and people will always come. The great Saint who brought the Dharma to Tibet, Padmasambhava, was no exception, and was held in the valley of modern Kathmandu for a long period of time, before he was allowed to proceed on his historic journey. The Himalayas did this, preparing him for his future tasks. Nepal is a cacophony of sights and sounds, and it’s easy to get distracted. It’s even easier to be a “tourist” and miss Nepal completely. My advice: if the Himalayas called you to them, and you took action and got yourself here, then humble one self and listen with more than your eyes and ears. The Himalayas will sing to you, if you get quiet enough to hear them. Go on a long walk, without a reason to come back……as good old Henry David Thoreau said, “Saunter”. #travel #adventure #Nepal

Simply beyond words! This is a video of Karen Abelman, an IDF soldier, who just finished her geirus (conversion) to join the Jewish People. Her genuine emotion while saying Shema is palpable, and it’s inspiring to see such love for Hashem, Torah, and Klal Yisrael. There’s no question that bring Jewish is a responsibility; but it’s also the greatest gift and opportunity imaginable. (Thank you so much to Rabbi Aryeh Cohen and Sparks of a Nation for sharing this video!) As we approach Pesach, it’s the time of the year when we re-experience the birth of the Jewish People as they left Egypt. Pesach represents the time in history where we ALL joined the Jewish nation; and every year, we get to personally tap into that experience. So this Pesach, let’s try to experience the deeper meaning and purpose of our mission as Jews, and how lucky we are to live a life of true freedom and truth. How amazing is it to be a Jew?!

FSD V14.1.7 | Near Accident This is without a doubt the closest I have come to getting into an accident in a long time. I think had I not taken over and slammed on the brakes we would not have slowed down in time. You can see that FSD does an incredible job reacting to the car (even before I noticed it) and was slowing down, but it was not slowing down enough to stop in time. As soon as I saw the car swerving to the right I worried she was going to bounce back into my lane so that is when I decided to go full on the brakes to stop the car. You can see prior to me taking over we were full regen braking (which is FSD reacting well) but it wasn't using any real brakes at all, and ABS was not active until I took over. Let me know what you all think in the comments. I still think FSD is incredible - the reality is if you watch the video the car saw and reacted to the situation before I did, it just didn't brake as agressively as it needed to in this situation. FSD + an attentive driver is without a doubt in my mind still safer than a normal human driver who is not using FSD.

One reason I stay a bit quite about AI these few months. I can’t find my voice to say this right. I’ll try. — What has my AI found just in the millions of never saved TV from the 1980s-1990s? The simple commercial, I have the largest collection known in the world is a reflection of hyper nuanced humanity. Frail and over optimistic as it is, it shows the sprit of humanity in ways that self-hating 2010 Internet sewage training AI can not. It is interesting to have dark humor, when you know the soul of the person with the humor. It is not interesting to have dark humor from an AI that was not trained on the human spirit. The human sprit is not math, coding and science. This is the OUTCOME of a human sprit. We are training AI backwards and we just can’t see it yet, but we will. I am doing may best as “some posted on X” who has no currency in the “big boy” AI world to save the human sprit. We will need it one day and most of this training material is being erased, trillions of bytes daily. This is the secret to truthful AI. This is the secret to AI that LOVES humanity. We don’t get this right soon, there will be little chance. The data is… Almost gone.

I've become a missionary with one message. Every time I meet a young person, the same words: have children, get married, build a family. I did not decide on this calling. It overtook me. And it overtook me for a single reason. I had no idea. I genuinely did not understand how much joy, how much meaning, how much sheer beauty pours out of a child until I was holding one of my own and felt the floor of my life drop into something deeper than I knew was there. I grew up white, affluent, secular, comfortable, and insulated. That world does not put babies in front of you. None of my friends were starting families. Out of my whole circle, almost no one has a big one. We were not formed by the presence of children. We were formed by their absence, by the strange quiet of homes built for two careers and no cradle. And a person believes what his world shows him. So we believed. What we believed was a lie. It is a lie with an author, and that the author is the enemy of joy himself. It is the gospel of the world, and its commandment is wait. Wait until you are older. Wait until the career is built and the savings are stacked and the twenties are properly spent. Enjoy your freedom. You are not ready. It does not arrive sounding like temptation. It arrives sounding like wisdom, like prudence, like the responsible thing, and that is exactly why it works. The most effective lies are the ones that wear the face of virtue. And the maddening thing is that it collapses from every angle at once. It is not rooted in biology, because the body is made for this work precisely in the years we are told to postpone it. The flesh keeps a calendar the culture pretends not to see. And it is not rooted in theology either. You will not find this deferral anywhere in the Christian imagination, in any of the fathers, in any of the scriptures. So choose whatever lens you like. Take the cold secular measure or the ancient sacred one. By either light the counsel is rotten. It is bad for the body and bad for the soul and bad for the society downstream of both. This is why I have come to see it as one of the central tragedies of my generation. Every age carries its own wound. The Great Depression was a depression of bread, a scarcity in the world of matter, hunger you could measure. Ours is a depression of a different order. It is a famine of the spirit in the middle of abundance. We have more than any people who ever lived and we are starving in a way our ancestors would not recognize, because the thing we are refusing cannot be bought and cannot be banked. The ones most made to give and receive this love are quietly declining it. They are walking away from the one inheritance that actually compounds, and the cruelest part is that they do not feel the loss as loss. You cannot grieve what you were taught not to want. That is the deepest cut of it. The lie does not only steal the thing. It steals the capacity to know the thing was stolen. A man can spend his whole life on the far side of a door he never knew was a door, mistaking the wall for the edge of the world. Because this beauty is not ordinary beauty. It is not the pleasure of a good meal or a clear morning. It is participation in something that comes down from above, the same generative love that spoke everything out of nothing and called it good. To make a person, to be undone and remade by loving that person more than your own life, is to be drawn for a moment inside the very act that holds the cosmos together. A child does not merely add to your life. A child reorders the soul. It teaches you what you are by asking everything of you, and you discover, kneeling there exhausted at three in the morning, that you had a capacity for self gift you never suspected, a depth in yourself you had no other way to reach. In the Gospel of John, on the last night, Jesus prays, these things I have spoken to you that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. And I have come to understand why family is the road into that fullness, why it is not one path among many but the one most fitted to the shape of the promise. Consider who is praying. Christ does not come to us as a lone figure dropped out of the sky. He comes out of a family older than the world, the eternal communion of Father and Son, the love between them so total and so alive that theologians dared to call it a third person. Before there was anything, there was a family. The deepest fact about reality is not a force or a law or a void. It is a household. It is begetting and being begotten, giving and receiving, a Father who is only a Father because there is a Son. So when Jesus speaks of joy made complete, he is not pointing away from family toward something higher. He is pointing toward the very thing he came from, the life he has known from eternity and came to share. His joy is the joy of belonging utterly to a Father and pouring himself out for those he loves. When you marry, when you bring a child into the world, when you wear yourself down in the small unseen labors of a home, you are not stepping outside that divine life. You are stepping into a small image of it. Your family is a created echo of an uncreated one. The love you give your child rhymes with the love the Father has for the Son. The exhaustion, the tenderness, the way a parent would tear the sky open to protect a sleeping infant, all of it is the heavens pressed faintly into flesh, the eternal household leaving its fingerprint on yours. That is why the joy is not merely added to family but completed in it. We were made in the image of a God who is, at his very root, relation and gift and generation. To found a family is to do the most Godlike thing a creature can do, to participate from below in the begetting that God does from all eternity. Your home becomes a window. Through it, dimly and imperfectly, you glimpse the country you came from and are going to. And now a word for the young people reading this, the ones who do not yet have children. I want to tell you what it is like from where I stand. When I am out somewhere, a restaurant, anywhere, and a large family comes through the door, the noise and the chaos and the small bodies of them, something happens in me on two levels at once. The first is joy. A pure gladness at the sight, the way you feel watching something good and alive. But underneath it, almost in the same instant, a sadness reaches up and takes hold of my heart. Because I know now, at my age, after my own years of waiting, that I will never have that. I will never know the particular fruit of a family that large, the fullness of that table, the weight of all those lives gathered under one roof. The door to it has quietly closed, and I felt it close. And I am telling you plainly, because I love you and have no reason to lie to you: you will feel this too. You will. The day will come when you see what you passed up, and you will recognize the ache for what it is, and it will be too late to answer it. So please, learn from a man who got it wrong. Let my regret be worth something by becoming your wisdom. Do not wait yourself into a grief you cannot undo. Choose now, while the door is open, so that you may step into a joy that does not end.

His joy is the joy of belonging utterly to a Father and pouring himself out for those he loves. When you marry, when you bring a child into the world, when you wear yourself down in the small unseen labors of a home, you are not stepping outside that divine life. You are stepping into a small image of it. Your family is a created echo of an uncreated one. The love you give your child rhymes with the love the Father has for the Son. The exhaustion, the tenderness, the way a parent would tear the sky open to protect a sleeping infant, all of it is the heavens pressed faintly into flesh, the eternal household leaving its fingerprint on yours. That is why the joy is not merely added to family but completed in it. We were made in the image of a God who is, at his very root, relation and gift and generation. To found a family is to do the most Godlike thing a creature can do, to participate from below in the begetting that God does from all eternity. Your home becomes a window. Through it, dimly and imperfectly, you glimpse the country you came from and are going to. And now a word for the young people reading this, the ones who do not yet have children. I want to tell you what it is like from where I stand. When I am out somewhere, a restaurant, anywhere, and a large family comes through the door, the noise and the chaos and the small bodies of them, something happens in me on two levels at once. The first is joy. A pure gladness at the sight, the way you feel watching something good and alive. But underneath it, almost in the same instant, a sadness reaches up and takes hold of my heart. Because I know now, at my age, after my own years of waiting, that I will never have that. I will never know the particular fruit of a family that large, the fullness of that table, the weight of all those lives gathered under one roof. The door to it has quietly closed, and I felt it close. And I am telling you plainly, because I love you and have no reason to lie to you: you will feel this too. You will. The day will come when you see what you passed up, and you will recognize the ache for what it is, and it will be too late to answer it. So please, learn from a man who got it wrong. Let my regret be worth something by becoming your wisdom. Do not wait yourself into a grief you cannot undo. Choose now, while the door is open, so that you may step into a joy that does not end.
