“Worse things comes to worst, If I f…king die a tragic death and I’m not able to see out my dreams, I at least want to know that the kids perceived my messages and were able to make something of themselves and use it to turn it into something positive. If I’m going to die or ever be a sacrifice, I want to make sure that my life made at least 5 million kids happy”.
