The longer I looked down, the more I wanted to be a part of all that was happening. I am a god, after all. I can do anything I please. And of course I want to be a part of all creation."
"And so not knowing where I would thrive and where I wouldn't, I fell from the asteroid and made sure to scatter myself all around the world."
"Of course, as a foreigner I am not always acknowledged, not always accepted. And it hurts. For I am full of belief and any beliefs you hold, I will amplify and support."
