What is your philosophy on life?

I reckon I'm a little too young to have that all figured out yet. I don't know none too much about fate and shit like that, but it's not whatever hand you're dealt in this life that makes you who you are; it's how you deal with all that that composes your character. I don't want to make it all about me here, but look at the shit I've been through. For a while I let all that hurt infect every aspect of my life and I was ruining myself. I stopped giving a fuck and felt numb to everything, which did me no favors, but I was able to channel that into something positive. Folks get themselves all worked up over this petty shit, why? Because they give too much of a fuck. Once you eliminate or at least significantly reduce the amount of fuck that you give, you'll find yourself a much happier and more content person. There are many things you have no control over, and if you let worrying about it all run your life you won't have any time left to live it, because no one never knows how much of that time we have left. I just don't give a fuck, and it's helped bring me success and happiness once again- something I thought I wouldn't feel ever again. In my opinion. And sure, this may be a bit long winded but it's a life philosophy here, what do you want, a fucking haiku? Get outta here.

If you can be anyone doing anything right now, what would you do?

I would be me, laying on my floor, playing with my little buddy Roscoe. Far too often, folks live their lives blindly aspiring to be like Brad Pitt or to be the next Lebron James, when they ought to spend more time appreciating the hand they've been dealt here. I don't want to live in anyone's shadow; I'ma be me, and the best me I can be. In my opinion.

It only just occurred to me, a minute before we were leaving, how much I will miss having class with you. 
Instead of taking the time to say goodbye to everyone, you told me to keep taking pictures and how you respect that I am not like anyone else. 
I have always had a lot of respect for you, so hearing this was very much appreciated. 
I better be seeing your name all over one day, in some shape or form. 
Because it would most certainly be a disappointment if it I don't.
