Achieving your dreams is a lot like holding a sparkler. When I was little, I was terrified of those sparklers that you hold and wave around on the fourth of July and at other celebrations. I would ask for one and my mother would give me that look like “are you going to hold onto it this time?”

What makes you special? And I’m serious. That is such a cliche question but I swear to goodness that’s all you’ve got that, that’s going to help you make your way in this world. And the best way I can explain to you to think about it is you cannot lock away the one thing that gives you your edge.

I wish I could hibernate like a bear. Not actually sleep for real although it would be nice to eat whatever I like in my dreams and still wake up still lighter but I mean just hold up and not let anyone bother me for four months...except my family.
