"Be Fearless" - Dove Chocolates wrapper.

I got this just shortly after my journey began and I know it probably sounds corny, but I gave me a lot of strength early on. I still have it taped to my computer screen at work.

"No" is a complete sentence.

Nothing changes if Nothing changes.

Just because they say it, doesn't make it true.
