"Stop fishing for deep sea perch in a pond, because when you reel in gold fish, you’ll only end up disappointed.

You have not the faintest idea of what I have gone through and why I am who I am today. This is my life and only I know the real story. The strains, the struggles, the sorrows are all mine. They’re not for you to assess or evaluate; I give that authority to none, for My Guiding Light is Within. - Manprit Kaur"
