1) Life to me means being able to wake-up every day and getting to enjoy all our senses such as hearing, speaking, seeing and being able to taste our favorite foods.

2) The most impactful moments in my life would have to be when I had 2 major surgeries the same year back in 2017. It showed who was there for me which was ultimately my mom and stepdad.

3) My biggest struggle that I face well that I have faced for years is feeling like I don’t belong anywhere. This feeling comes from my past traumas. But I do try to improve on that everyday.

4) This advice can be for everyone including myself. Not being so harsh on ourselves, we were once young kindergarten students who were learning the alphabet. Also staying in the present and not stressing about the past or future helps me stay grounded. 👍🏼
