“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be.

There’s no time limit,

stop whenever you want.

You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing.

We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it.

And I hope you see things

that startle you.

I hope you feel things

you never felt before.

I hope you meet people with a different point of view.

I hope you live a life

you’re proud of.

If you find that you’re not,

I hope you have the courage

to start all over again.”

Eric Roth

(often attributed to F. Scott Fitzgerald)
