i am me. in all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. everything that comes out of me is authentically mine , because i alone chose it ; i own everything about me: my body , my feelings , my mouth , my voice , all my actions , whether they be to others or myself. i own my fantasies , my dreams , my hopes , my fears. i own my triumphs &, successes , all my failures & mistakes. i know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me , aspects that make me insecure , & other aspects that i do not yet know -- but as long as i am friendly & loving to myself , i can courageously & hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles in my life. i have the tools to survive , to be close to others , & to make sense out of the world surrounding me. i own me, & therefore, i can engineer me. i am me & i am escaping the ordinary .
