In my work, I'm passionate about trying different things and being okay if I mess up. Now I'm trying to bring that into my own life.

I think as more people get more aware, people get more defensive. And when I say that, I mean people who are more privileged, like men.

Learning to say no is something that helps in that, and what you're comfortable with and what you're not comfortable with, and finding the line. That's it. Otherwise it's just going to be really hard.
