Self-love

Love yourself, my boy. It'll all be better if you take yourself as righteous. Stop the questioning, stop the worry, do what you want. Examine the past if you must, but dwell not in the shadows. Rather see the sun in front of you. When you look at the shadow, you turn your back to the sun, the opportunity, the classic metaphor. Know that the shadow exists, but do not measure it's contours or look for shading. The shadow is uniform, it is pain. The sun is uniform and it is happiness. Don't Icarize yourself, for you need not get any closer. The presence alone matters.
