"Every chapter of my life has played a significant role in my identity, shaping me into the exemplar and change-maker I aspire to be. This book serves as an affirmation of my perseverance and the influential growth I've experienced, which I aim to use to motivate others toward self-healing. I humbly believe that embracing the truth about ourselves enables us to have a clear understanding of who we are and ultimately, to break free from the fears and anxieties that hold us back from change." ~hgs
