The document describes the narrator's journey through different life stages: 1) As an infant, the narrator feels misunderstood and tries to find a sense of belonging in society. 2) As a teenager, the narrator rebels against social stereotypes and causes "colorful chaos". 3) The narrator then embraces peace as a "happy hippy" and finds a sense of community. 4) Now wise, the narrator realizes their significance and role in providing necessary resistance through art and knowledge to progress society.

1. The fetal bud: As an infant; unknown to the multiple faces of the society, I wear a mask of
misunderstood masculinity. Venturing into the universe as an asteroid; I am only a speck of dust
in the pacific of sand. A novice, shy of normative order, I try to peek through my veiled lashes
trying to find a sense of belongingness in the society. Everything around me is dark and my ‘self’
is the only light in vicinity.

2. Teenage drama: I broke up with uncertainty and befriended superficiality. The stereotypical facade of
the society didn’t fool me anymore. I was the reckless asteroid rushing so fast; I created havoc and
introduced the universe to a colorful chaos. I personify drama; I am going to color outside the lines.
Everything around me is dark and I am going to cause a wildfire.

3. The Happy Hippy: A hurricane eventually dies, I didn’t die; I changed course. I was the asteroid
hurricane that was embraced by serenity and familiar faces. I was in search of cohesion, looking for
better halves in the universe. I found my galaxy where I could belong, where I found peace.
Metanarratives dominated the universe, I was the alternate narrative. Everything around me was dark
and I was the flickering light; let’s call it hope.

4. The quintessential wise owl: As the universe progresses building galaxies and habitable planets, I
realized my significance in the society. I am my own art, an artist that can counter the normative; I give
criticism its meaning. I am the necessary resistance and resistance is powerful. Knowledge, Compassion
adorned my palate making me whole. As I looked at the society with a new lens, the universe accepted
me as one of its own. I am the small constellation in the vastness of the universe that is quintessential to
its existence. Everything was dark around me; I am the flaming torch conquering the universe.
