Own it.

I have earned my own existence. There's much yet to come, more power, more passion, more potential. But I own it. It's mine. No one can take it away from me. Now, as I lie here listening to my sleeping love, I realize. I made this come to be. Yes, I'm beyond lucky. But I worked for this. From the moment I was born, I've been fighting. I'll never be anything but a fighter. I'm a survivor. I survived, and now I am here. In my proper place. Whether for five minutes or fifty years. It's mine.

I am master and commander.

What a relief.
