"Presenting valuable insight without pushing religion, politics, or any other underlying agenda. Why is it so hard to come across individuals that share positive meaningful information without pressing you to give up something on your end? I will never understand it and at the end of the day I can't force things out of my control, yet I can provide change for myself so why not start here and now."

"At birth, we are naturally created free and different with a purpose. Throughout life we often find ourselves trying to fit into a box or standard, causing us to lose a sense of our identity and the core of who we are. It is until we learn to embrace ourselves, flaws in all, that we can truly live in our truth and find our purpose in life fulfilled."
