I think I'm lucky.

I think God has given me ███████

And maybe my dad, ███████████████████

██████████████████████████████████

And while I might later distance myself from what I write

Like a performer on prime-time television

The truth is, I don't.

The truth is, I mean what I say

And I say what I mean, as I understand it

That's why

You can't always rely on newspapers

You can't always rely on other blogs, books, or similar sources

They speak to paying audiences and often aim to sell something

I don't

I tell people what I believe

Just to communicate

I learned some of this from █████ a long time ago

Because he was consistent in his approach

And in some ways, America changed with him

Many American leaders opposed him, but his influence remained

And they adapted

I speak plainly because I think in simple, broad, and free terms

I don't even need that

My assets here are worth over █████

But I

I haven't monetized it yet; ████████████████████

██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

It's not going away

█████████████████████████████████████████

I'll be completely fine

It's not every day, it's not every person, who stands up to the opposition

And imagines and believes—without a lie in the middle of the word believe—that I can succeed, because I am succeeding

██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

██████████████████████████████

Because Washington saw America as it is today

And I can see Sri Lanka after my time is up
