You've got the knowledge. You've got the love, and you're capable of moving forward and making a great life yourself.

You can become whoever you want to be. You can do what you want to do.

You don’t get to pick where you’re from, but you always have control of where you’re going.

If there are things you don't like in the world you grew up in, make your own life different.
