About This Quote
Your map of reality is ever-shifting. You will never see the world as it truly is, but you can always see the world as you wish it to be. That’s what makes you special – all of your ideas of what life is like and how it works. The truth of the matter is that not only is the map ever-shifting, but so are our ideas of what we think it means and how we want to live.
