QUOTES:
“We aspire to have something that only a different community will give us. If don’t have a different community, our current one just keeps us in the same spot.”
“Be honest with where you’re at. So many times we fantasize how we want it to look.”
“I think people always hurt people. Always. I don’t think people have gotten out of life without hurting other people, sometimes it’s intentional and sometimes it’s not. ”
