Be who you are. Don't be anything less.
Strength isn't just measured by how much pain you can take.

My soul is the ocean,
calm and mysterious
Build a ship,
and sail through my waves

My heart is the sky,
open and free
Build a plane,
and fly through my air

My eyes are the adventure,
courageous and wild
Pack your bags,
and indulge in the journey

My song is the land,
soft and gentle
Hold your breath
and dive into it

Combine these parts of me,
and you can create a life worth living
