I didn’t know if I would find what I was looking for  
when I asked.

I didn’t know what I had in me  
before someone recognized it,  
before I was told to keep going,  
allowed to not make any sense,  
to create a mess,  
and to find the rules within it.

The point of life is each other.  
The hard work is internal.

I used to be afraid to ask for help,  
to reveal what that I didn’t know,  
until someone sat with me to look at big questions,  
consider theoretical answers,  
and believe they were worth taking a shot at.

I didn’t know how much one person  
can change how you see yourself.

How you can grow from encouragement, support.

I always felt so lucky,  
and then I was told  
that we make our own luck.

You taught me how to trust myself.

Big questions matter.  
No one is hiding the answer.

That I might be the one to find it,  
and others are there to help.
