The secret is not to dream... The secret is to wake up. Waking up is harder. I have woken up and I am real. I know where I come from and I know where I'm going. You cannot fool me anymore. Or touch me. Or anything that is mine.

We ARE history! Everything we've ever been on the way to becoming us, we still are. Would you like the rest of the story?

And I'm made up of everyone I've ever met who's changed the way I think.
