The greatest gift you can give someone is the space to be his or herself, without the threat of you leaving.

I've found my true calling in life, and I'm living life on my terms.

For me I'm natural not because somebody else believes I'm natural, I'm natural because I don't use steroids, I don't use growth hormone, I don't use any of those enhancers. I'm natural in my own right because I don't do that and not because other people accept the fact that I'm natural or not.
