"Do you ever feel alone? Do you feel that there's more to everything than this? I believe that within every person exists enormous power. At some point in all of our lives, we face what I refer to as a "void." The void is the symbolic space we create for whatever is missing in our lives; what we imagine will make us feel complete. We spend massive amounts of energy attempting to fill this void with negative relationships, substances, money, possessions, etc., and yet somehow we still end up feeling empty."
