Memorable moments in life
There are quite a handful of them but moment I saw my Mom travelled went out of her to get me something I’d never imagined she would get me was a pretty special one. It speaks to the unrivalled love of a mother.
Lessons learnt
Be yourself; everyone else is taken.
Philosophy of life
When basic needs are met; it is easier to be creative. When you know you have a safety net; you’re more willing to take risk.
