DEDICATION:
For everyone who has ever felt unworthy, for whatever reason—and we all have at one time or another—a single incident does not define you. Your worth is in the effort you bring to living the best life you can. As wonderful as the achievements are, it is in the striving that you prove yourself. Not that you are perfect or even trying to be perfect, just that you are trying.
