NEVER let anything or anyone STEAL your joy. Those are open to love; we love who you are and just the way you are. We are humans who are not expected to be PERFECT. God made us just the way we are. Our being cannot be defined by how we look but by our character, knowing this to be the best we can be and knowing that we are uniquely created just the way we are. ― Dr. Nana
