"I am student and a tenacious soul. I am a heart covered in tattoos."
"Accountability for my actions, I have overcome myself."
"I am an empath with a bleeding heart."
"With my dad's addiction and poor health, I have assumed the role of his caregiver. This has been the biggest lesson in taking care of my own needs while also helping him."
"I am a Canadian girl with an American heart. I am stubborn and I know exactly what I want."
"I like to be in control, but with chronic health issues that have escalated in the past years, I've had to learn to let go of those controlling needs. I've had to learn how to accept unwanted change."
"Who I am ummm... I don't know. I don't really like answering questions like that."
"You know, I don't need to think about who I am when I am just living. I am too busy enjoying life to think about stuff like that."
"I'm a loving and beautiful powerhouse with a magical spirit."
"I had to rediscover the parts of myself that I thought were broken and unwanted. I had to remember that even in brokenness I can find strength."
"I am a woman who is becoming, and who is in the process of blossoming. It's a mystery to be realized."
"I have had to look at parts of me that were, according to me, not beautiful. And I have come to love those parts. But its in that process of going into those spaces that I have found liberation... its actually a bed of feathers, you know? 
It was the biggest leap, it was a risk. I took risks and I want to keep taking risks. Taking risks opens new doors, doors that I didnt even think were in existence. 
And its all within. The more I go within, the more I can come outside of me."
