There are few things I've ever said, since watching films when I was young -- to my early inspiration to believe in myself..

My relationship with Jackie Chan is one of those mysteries.

He kicked and slammed the shit out of a car in a scene of Karate Kid, featuring Will Smith's son, and then he just cried -- over and over again in the drivers seat.

I would not stop affirming him, until he stopped crying.

"I'm sorry I died."

"I'm sorry I died."

"I will be out of the hospital, and the group home wants to discharge me soon."

And then Jackie wiped his tears.

I know who I am, and what I do, and what I represent to you.

It is true that I know who I am -- but I will never forget why I am here, for the sake of connexxion, and connexxion with other souls.

(I watched the film The Karate Kid, both inside of the hospital, where he seemed to cry the most, and in my group home, where I was able to affirm him.)
