Humanity is as diverse as it is troubled. Some people like to face life with a raging fury. Their eventual death is a blaze of glory; their existence is a fight they were made to win. Others prefer the quiet acceptance that they are infinitesimally small and the multiverse will spin on without them when they return to the stardust they were born from.
Don't be afraid to associate yourself with unrealistic cosmic concepts.
Craft yourself from whatever material gives you peace.
Enjoy yourself.
