Nora’s here to remind you that we are not the worst thing that happened to us. We are not our mistakes. We are infinite and expansive. And there is always hope for tomorrow.

Have you ever heard something really weird about someone… but at their funeral? I found out that allegedly my dad RODE A MOTORCYCLE.
