Quotes:
“Life doesn’t have to be defined by this job or this thing that you do. Just being, is worth living for.” - Liz Plank
“I was fortunate that I have my smile, that’s what I used to mask a lot of the struggle that happened…It was this idea of being a womanizer that I used to put a bandaid over a cut that needed surgery, it wouldn’t work.” - Jalen Noble
“If I own something I misuse it, if I own something I may ot value it as much. But if I rent it, I treat it with care.” - Jalen Noble
