There were definitely times I felt sorry for myself ….. or times we’re dark or tough, and the uncertainty of everything is so heavy - I talked with Joe and decided……there is such beauty in the effort of diving fully into something and the not knowing . The not knowing (if it will workout) is fine- you don’t have to know . Whether or not you get to this beautiful end goal that you want, as long as you poured yourself in and tried your hardest -I knew in 20 years I could look back and be proud of myself.” “There’s value in trying There’s value in doing something there’s not sure you’ll get gratification from. It’s going to be hard but you  can be proud of yourself regardless if you just give it everything “ -Aisha
