“My mission in life is to cultivate the light that is within the walls of my essence, and to give a breath of life to those who have been overwhelmed by the darkness of the world and the eternal struggle to live in the light . . . Some people may not recognize that they’re in a darkness as well, and there's times where you may not recognize that your self is in the darkness. But to make that light more brighter is to grow. So as I grow, I want other people to grow.  And that's by us communicating and sharing our thoughts and expressing how we feel about situations and each other.”
