“Finding your passion isn’t just about careers and money. It’s about finding your authentic self - the one you’ve buried beneath other people’s needs.”

“Never judge people by their past. People learn. People change. People move on.”

“You must allow yourself to outgrow and depart from certain eras of your life with a gentle sort of ruthlessness.”

Amidst all the chaos, he was the calm I needed when I wasn't even looking.
