When I reflect back on my life, whether 10 months ago or 12 years ago, it is so clear to me that I have grown and I am growing. I am a stronger person today than I was back then, but I also know it's because of what happened back then. Those moments made me, and yours are making you.

Anyone can lie to themselves, but it is much harder to speak truth to yourself. But when you do, the other side feels much better.
