Quotes to ponder:

"Do what makes you feel good. Do what gives you energy. That’s the only way you’ll find what you love."

"You can’t fake curiosity. You either have it or you don’t. And curiosity is the beginning of everything you love."

"The more you practice following your curiosity, the more clues you get to what you truly love."
