Patrick Paul Alvarado

I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition, My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can, While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God's creation, I have feelings too. I am still human. All I want is to be loved, for myself and for my talent, and I am never going to have anything more to do with politics or politicians. When this war is over I shall confine myself entirely to writing and painting.
