Food for thought:

"Be careful how you unfold your wings, there are some in the world who are not content unless their teeth are full of feathers."

KATHLEEN NORRIS

Sometimes the hardest part of growing isn't finding your wings – it's accepting that not everyone will be happy to see you fly. Kathleen Norris' quote reminds us to protect our peace, choose carefully who we trust with our dreams, and never let the reaction of others stop us from becoming who we're meant to be.
