"The purpose of the planet kingdom is to feed animals and humans, to hold the soil together, to enhance beauty, to balance the atmospher.

I had to come to peace with everything. I had to learn to forgive myself, not to judge, but to learn from the past. they showed me how vital it is to accept, be truthful, and love myself so I could do the same with others."
