Our lives are so visual now, with social media and we're constantly shifting gears. Nobody requires a table of contents. Nobody requires that one page leads to the next page, we're okay being surprised by things that are eclectic.

Its not about being included. It about creating your own space and including yourself and then finding other people that are like okay.

When you think about people, you give them power.

You belong wherever you want to belong.
