“I think that one of my biggest things I’ve tried to be for most of my life is to be a compassionate person.”
“Life in general is not just all about me, just because I’m the one experiencing it for myself.”
“There are days I’m wanting to dwell in the negative aspect of everything and .. be upset and angry about everything. I think that’s totally natural and understandable.”
