Why? Why would I keep going? Because you matter. You matter. You matter to me. Why? That's your favorite question, isn't it? Because even though you're a stranger I haven't ever met, I know you are important. You have a purpose. Keep going. You have something you're supposed to do for this world. I know. So please, don't beat yourself up. You're perfect. Rember there is someone who is jealous of your hair, your beautiful face, your body. You don't have to believe it, but it's true. You have to keep being you. Be kind, be different, be you. I love you and that's saying something. Believe in yourself. I've been there. Been to the point where I don't want to keep going. Where I don't think I'm worthy. I am at that point, too. But I'm trying to have faith and you need to have faith, too. So, please, join me on this journey of realizing we are perfect, we have a purpose, and we need to keep going.
"Please, whoever you are, keep going. For me.

An extremely popular 1960's hippie saying that was made ubiquitously famous by the one-of-a-kind, extremely esoteric and eventually iconic comic strips and books which appeared and evolved from within the exquisitely unique mind of the mad-genius cartoonist R. Crumb. These three simple words of encouragement reinforced the then-prevailing idea that people should be able to feel confident about staying true to their own chosen life path and not allowing the outside world to get them down or force them to change who they wanted to be.
