In life, you’ll encounter many things. However, YOU decide what is meaningful and worthy enough to add to your life and what is not. Find your own meaning in life, make your own foundation, and, most importantly, become or create something that is everlasting. Thank you for reading this poem. You could have read any number of poems, but you read this one and for that, I am extremely grateful. I hope that it added some value and quality to your everyday life.

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight.
