An Open Mind is a Happy Place
I wasn’t born with all the answers.
Look, we all have room to grow when it comes to seeing beyond our own experiences, right? As someone who focused mostly on sports and video games as a kid, I’ll admit I didn’t give much thought to what life was like for others. It was easy to go through life thinking everyone had it as good as me.

Ever since, I’ve been trying my best to listen and assume less. When someone points out where I’m missing the mark, I don’t get all defensive. I know they’re doing me a favor by giving me a chance to learn. It’s cool having people in my life who care enough to hold that mirror up.
