A moral divide. What side am I on? What's dividing it? What's the line?

The line for me is miles wide and this year I've been crossing it. I'm still in it. I don't exactly know where the other side is or what it's like over there, but I'm willing to find out.

Life isn't long enough to be bogged down by restrictions that society so eagerly wants to place on you. When you look at the laws of supply and demand, depending on the industry, there's always demand. If you don't supply the product, someone else will. Might as well seize the opportunity.

Here I am, breaking down all the barriers that I can. There's one big one that will be crossed soon, and a larger one after that. For what? Fame. Fortune. Riches. If I can't have it one way soon enough, I will find another way. I simply don't care. I have never felt more alive than this year, even when I feel dead inside sometimes. Fame fortune and riches are nothing but a means to my end - to buy the second half of my life to provide real meaning to the world and provide security to me.

I have many talents and many assets. The assets aren't material. They're physical and mental. One thing I did figure out this year is that I'm a highly desired person not just for how I look but for who I am. I'm in no way the greatest person around. I can think of better and cooler people than me. But I'm no chump. Walk a few miles in my shoes and you'll figure out what I mean. This has given me a confidence I haven't known before and, to be honest, it's intoxicating.

Many people will judge me. Many people will try to pigeonhole me. Many people will say they don't approve. Or that I'm selling out. They'll want to talk about religion or morals or standards or whatever. They'll have a lot to say and I'll listen.

The dichotomy lies here: many people will want to do that at the same time I'll be wanting to satisfy many people. To the ones who are satisfied - that's my goal. To the ones who aren't and want to tell me how to live my life...

...for them I have but two digits to reveal: one's on my left hand, the other on my right.

This is my life and I'll live it running all the yellow lights.
