An entire decade to pass without feeling fulfilled? This past year, I finally unapologetically loved who I am. I lost people along the way. And that’s ok.”
“We aren’t meant to please everyone. What I do know is life is too short to feel unfulfilled. So what fills your heart? What makes you happy? I’ve enjoyed making people laugh this summer during what felt like a dark time for so many. I’ve enjoyed learning from my diverse community and hearing their stories. You all have taught me so much! I don’t know what the future holds for me but I’m excited to bring you all along for the ride! I will passionately pursue a fulfilled life and refuse to let this next decade pass by without purpose.”
