QUOTABLES:

“What I learned as far as what it takes to be able to do what you love and pursue these passions is also health. And how if you don't have health, mental or physical, it makes it a little bit more difficult to go after what you want. So I learned how to put just as much importance on my creative work, as I do on mental health. And that's not always easy, but it is a great lesson for sure.”

“When you are support, [you need to be] open to being corrected, and open to learning from the person you're trying to support.”
