Top 3 Quotes

  1. I am a mermaid. Please let me swim. That’s when I figured out maybe I wasn’t designed to swim in the same little pond with everyone else. I’m gonna go fill up my own ocean.
  2. If something stays in your head it remains a dream. But until you actually go scratch that thing, try to implement it, you won’t know. 
  3. Fear will be there, it’s supposed to be there. Fear is a present to help keep us safe. But some people get it confused. I’m afraid doesn’t mean I shouldn’t.
