I get stuck in what it should be, what it should look like. I obsess over other peoples’ path and how I can replicate their success. But even those people I look up to know that is no way to live.

The most important thing I learned on this trip is that it will happen when it will happen and will happen how it will happen. Some of the incredibly talented and inspiring people I got the honor of speaking with all had different paths to get where they are. They all got to where they are by being themselves and staying vigilant. Success may not be instantaneous, but the journey is none the less still beautiful.
