Dear Son, You Are The Son Of A Big Time Dreamer, That’s Where You Get Your Dreaming From

Look closely or you’ll miss the obvious from the glare…

Dear Son, much of what you worry about has nothing to do with you, it has to do with other’s perceptions of you. Therefore work tirelessly to preserve your reputation.
