“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” - George Orwell

Why are we compelled to conceal the truth with falseness? Is it love or fear that drives the decision?

Transformation is not a one stop shop.

There’s so many ways to transform and so many things to learn along the path. Here’s what I’ve learned to be true, at least for myself over the past few years:
