Favorite Quote:
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. You playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It’s not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others”.


I walk around thinking, not of everyday thoughts
But thoughts of change
I think what can i do, who am I
Who are these people in charge
They walk around with there heads held high
While us the people with our heads down kissing the ground they walk on
And I think
No i will not be one of those people
I will be that person who walks among people as equal and fights for the change that we all want for and need
