Everyone deserves love, understanding, to be heard, and, above all, hope.

As I began to write this book, penning thoughts and ideas about this very notion, I found myself in a place where the world sometimes appears overwhelmingly dark. I believe our minds and hearts resonate with that darkness too. Surrounded by negativity, often stemming from those around us, we may begin to doubt ourselves and our convictions.

I hope that by reading this book, you can find some direction, motivation, or perhaps even inspiration. A glimmer of light during dark and challenging times. I hope you will recognize that we all possess our own beauty. That each and every one of us has the power to shape our own destinies, rewrite our own stories, and uncover the true beauty that resides within us all. There is so much to explore, see, and experience out there. Our own horizons are limitless and vast.

We all deserve to venture and pursue our own happiness, and it begins with the infinite ways we need to believe in and love ourselves.
