But there are other metrics to life. The people you help along the way, the friends you meet, the families you make, all of these people are impacted by you. And then they'll impact others, and those others will impact even more people.

I am fifty-two, and all my life I have put my foot in my mouth and offended people with comments I thought were funny or cute or silly. It did not go over well, and so I masked super hard and walked on eggshells around anyone I did not know very well. So most everyone. It's not just tiring, it's also lonely to never be yourself because 'Oops, I did it again'. So I hold back and hold back and it's unbelievably hard to make friends when you are masking.
