• People have this kind of concept that they can't change but I feel like change is possible. So who you choose to be is who you are and who you will be.

If you want to be enlightened you will be enlightened. If you want to be an asshole you will be an asshole. But the greater scope of this statement is if you look at the history of humans, really, nothing has changed.
