At 21, you can live life with reckless abandon, as reckless as your abandon is. Then, at 30, there's something there are the supposed to be's. You're like, "I'm supposed to be doing this. I'm supposed to be doing that." You start measuring your life by what you think you're supposed to be doing. Having recently turned 40, it's like, "What the hell?! Why am I worried about what I'm supposed to be doing? What do I want to do?" You become fine with wherever the road takes you.

The things that scare you only make you better and stronger.

I can only be the best version of myself and understand that the only way that we as a people can heal is to understand that the next person's journey may not be your own, but it doesn't mean that you have to marginalize them in any way.

I hope that in some way that I can be some sort of beacon of hope, especially because I am not the typical Hollywood beauty.

Let's just say that I have a tendency if I am uncomfortable in a situation to speak my mind.

Because we all come from different circumstances, our life experiences really color how we view things.

I gotta go home and feed my eels. They're not electric, but I have a plan.
