Perception is everything.
Perception is key.
How can you live if your perception is different than others? Easy, just keep breathing and see what you believe. If someone tells you that you're wrong or your perception is off tell them to piss off because it's not their world you're living in. It's yours. You can have any dream you want if you want it enough. Some things need to be taken and some things need to be given. That's life. They say karma's a bitch but maybe you shouldn't have done what you did to earn bad karma in the first place. Perception, people. It is everything.
