A sense of freedom is something that, happily, comes with age and life experience. ”

Because too much of my life was spent waiting to be seen. Hoping to be seen, hoping to be picked. Once you realize that you aren't looked at that way any more, other things start to happen and you have to depend on other things to get by. ”

I am absolutely intrigued by life, and I really want to hold onto it. ”
