In a world where being normal is everything

I refuse to hold the same values.

I will not do anything simply because it's expected

I will not fall into the same category

I will not fit into the box.

I will be me. I will hold my own beliefs, think my own thoughts, make my own future.

I swear to follow my heart.

I promise to always try too hard.

I guarantee I will always care too much.

I will be too kind for my own good.

I will remain naïve.

I will never stop creating beautiful things.

I will think critically about all authority and accepted rules.

I absolutely, utterly, completely refuse to hate.

I will do what I know is right no matter what others think or say.

And may Grace give me the strength to let go.
