"I AM MOORE"
I AM MOORE is a statement, a declaration, a mindset, and a frame of reference. It is what some may call an epistemology, an understanding, a philosophy…a phrase that literally could save your life.
I AM MOORE is an affirmation, not an exaltation. It is a metaphor, a perspective, and a worldview. It is a way of thinking, and a reminder to always push through.
I AM MOORE simply means, that I AM...in spite of! I am resilient, I am a survivor, I am a fighter, I am here, and I am here to stay. I am worthy…I am worthy of love, kindness, affection, and respect.
I AM MOORE is not about pretending that problems do not exist, as we often live in a world full of chaos, trauma, sadness, and despair. Some of us deal with depression, anxiety, among other things, and some of us have experienced difficult situations that can be challenging to talk about.
I AM MOORE recognizes the existence of our pain, but acknowledges that we are not defined by it…nor are we defined by our past, our current problems or issues, or our perceived inadequacies, shortcomings, disabilities, or limitations.
I AM MOORE is a realization that I have the capacity to thrive, to live, to change, to challenge myself, to overcome, and to move beyond any problem that I may have. Therefore, my message to the world is to keep GOING, keep FIGHTING, keep LIVING, and NEVER give up, because I AM MOORE...AND SO ARE YOU!
