Not only is the experience of learning inspiring, the results are fulfilling.

We don’t come out of the womb thinking negatively about ourselves or others. We aren’t born talking ourselves out of our true needs and wants.

Don’t just act with kindness, think with kindness.

I looked out the window for other passengers in love with their drivers, but we were well disguised, we pretended boredom and prayed for traffic.
