“If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my thirty-nine years of life thus far, it’s this: you can take the stones that life flings at you and you can do whatever you want with them. You can allow them to knock you down and bury you beneath the rubble, or you can put them together and build yourself a beautiful castle. You can’t choose where or when you’re born or what you’re born into. That’s not something you control. That is your gift or your curse, and can haunt you to your dying day like an evil godmother’s spell. But, like any such spell, it can also be broken. You can break it. You can thwart it. You can do something about it. You always have a choice in that. The question is: what do you choose to do?”
