I think we all have blocks between us and the best version of ourselves, whether it's shyness, insecurity, anxiety, whether it's a physical block, and the story of a person overcoming that block to their best self. It's truly inspiring because I think all of us are engaged in that every day. ↗

Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show.

It was remarked that the clock began to strike, and I began to cry, simultaneously. ↗
