We are all too often told by someone that we are too old, too young, too different, too much the same, and those comments can be devastating.

We need the courage to learn from our past and not live in it.

The embodiment of kindness is often made difficult by our long ingrained patternsof fear & jealousy.

Your burdens and pains will only be lightened by living ever so fully.

Authenticity is what makes a relatable person believable. It is what makes the relatability sustainable. Anyone can fake relatability for a time, but authenticity is what makes it real.
