If I could change one thing about myself, I would embrace my dark heart and empty soul.
I’d smile less and grimace more
I would growl instead of speaking clearly and directly.
If I could change one thing about myself it would be to become the person I know that I really am.
I would be happier, I know that for certain.

The empty soul is a literary standard, but I’m not sure I’ve ever understood it. Can it ever be “empty”?
