Even though she struggled, the way she handled everything with her friend truly amazed me. Goals are not always easy to reach because of timing and circumstances, but believing that nothing is impossible means learning to trust yourself. You face the hard moments, even when they scare you, because life can be heavy or gentle depending on how you carry it. With patience and strong motivation, even the hardest paths can slowly become easier.

Best timing of my life: I stood up to walk out of the cinema and that exact moment some actor on screen said: “if you’re in the cinema, stand up” it was like a dare or something
