A lot of us would agree that actions define us as people. Does potential still define us when we’ve never left the gate?
Do you feel defined, restrained, or confined by your pattern of actions? Do you really feel this way or is it just what you’ve trained yourself to feel? Can you explore what your interests really are?

Thank you for your patience. I love you all.
