“I could have told you that the reason a lot of people never do anything, or go anywhere, or move to the place they've always wanted to move to or go after the things they always talked about, rarely boils down to other people's not believing in them.

"You're inadequate.”

Whether you feel ready or not, you're still going to grow up and use that word a lot more than you ever expected to.”

“I needed to witness what it looked like when you eventually stopped asking questions and just started living the answers out loud.”
