For everything you hate about yourself- Forgive yourself.

For everything you love about yourself- Forgive yourself.

For everything you are ashamed of.For everything you are proud of.For everything you want to hide.For everything you want to show.

For everything that didn’t in the end work out as you thought it would.

For everything you wanted to be.Forgive yourself.

JUHAS LAW1. Speaking the truth is lying so that people believe you.2. Being honest is bluffing so that people believe it.3. If something can’t be seen it doesn’t exist. 4. If something goes unnoticed, it didn’t happen.5. Pretending is the same thing as being your self.6. The difference between an experienced event and an

invented event is just a matter of how good pretender you are.

“He wants to fall a sleep now and never wake up.

He’s fifteen years old and doesn't want to live.

Walks in the dark. Can’t find the way out. At last he breaks down.

If it is the tiredness, the disappointment, the self

accusations- at last he begins to cry.”

”If you want to be someone else than you are, you have to create evidence that the lie is the true.

Give yourself a believable disguise. Get identification that makes it valid”

”The light bearer. Lucifer. The angel that rebelled. A from the skies, fallen angel.

Juha received himself as he fell from the sky. An alien had made an entrance.”
