… The biggest prison is in your own mind, and in your pocket, you already hold the key: the willingness to take absolutely absolute responsibility for your life; the willingness to risk; the willingness to release yourself from judgment and reclaim your innocence, excepting and loving yourself for who you really are – human, imperfect, and whole.
