Allegory:  A deeper meaning

Your life is everything you deserve. You deserve the best!

I have realized this book has a deeper meaning, which is go for what you want. If somebody is holding you back, leave him or her behind. “I want you to know that you deserve the best you’re beautiful.”- Lil’ Wayne
