Personal Manifesto: Time wages a war of attrition on our capacity for wonder. As our adolescence wanes, the danger of becoming anesthetized to life increases. What was once moving due to its novelty is now seen as mundane, the feelings evoked in us forgotten. We cease opening ourselves up to people for fear of rejection. Yet to allow our emotions to remain unvoiced is to run the risk of never voicing them; to refrain from seizing hold an opportunity is to jeopardize our chances of receiving another. We must reject the philosophy that hope leads to disappointment. We must regard life through the eyes of an innovator, continually viewing the world as if it were an uncharted country--and we its explorers.
