The pandemic has taught me to pay attention to what you do have. -
The words that I was speaking at that time, I didn’t recognize how much power they had. -

I’m older, and it seems like I tear up more when I see beautiful things. -
I don’t care if I got a million dollars or one dollar. I stay the same. -
-

At that point, I was on my knees, crawling. Now, I’m actually able to walk. -
"Listening to myself, I just couldn’t believe where I was at that point."
