i do believe in fate, but i would never insult my own destiny by believing "maybe im not living the way i can because its for me to be a mediocre talent"; i would never pacify myself by saying "i'm doing my best" MY BEST IS THE BEST OF THE GODS, IF I WERE DOING MY BEST YOU'D KNOW

The mind reaches, too, but for things the soul knows doesnt exist.
