We all control our own destinies. We all have the power to make our worlds with our own minds despite the hardships that exist. When you hear of those who have fought poverty, abuse, neglect, abandonment, and loads of other obstacles, still making it, still having an outstanding life; it's because they have realized the pain and suffering is in our minds and our universe can change, our fate can change, and we can become more powerful to change our existence and become fantastic.
Difficult to understand, I know. I've apparently struggled with this, in a way, since realizing my powers. Not because I necessarily lived in a rotten environment, no, on the contrary. Because of my accident as a child, my permanent parallelization, and my mind's willingness to fix the situation with my current powers which can be hard to understand as true reality when you live in a projected world.
Yes, I said it. I am permanently bedridden. And I am still The Thunder Dragon!
