Maya AngelouYou learn that there’s no right way to do it, no wrong way to do it. It’s just what you feel comfortable with, to trust that, and don’t let anybody box you in to a certain style of parenting or make you feel a certain way about what your kids do.
Stephen CurryI want to be a man who is truthful and who won’t let pride get in the way of my ripping myself open to my partner and saying, ‚Here I am. This is me.‘ I feel there’s something powerful when a man reaches a point in his life when he can be completely vulnerable.

Brene BrownA scholar who cherishes the love of comfort is not fit to be deemed a scholar.
Lao TzuThere’s a gap between what I want to do, what I do on camera, and what gets edited. Right? So the goal is to try and close the gaps.
