My parents definitely sparked something in me. I'm sure of it. I saw how happy and fulfilled they were, and I knew I wanted the same job. ↗

Because I don't think it's very healthy to hold people to idealized views. I think that's a certain stage in life, something kids do. You have to go through that idealistic phase with your parents, but at a certain point, you need to see people as just people. ↗

My parents divorced when I was young but I was brought up in two really loving households. I didn't have a contentious relationship with my mom or dad. ↗
