"The moment you feel that, just possibly, you’re walking down the street naked, exposing too much of your heart and your mind and what exists on the inside, showing too much of yourself. That’s the moment you may be starting to get it right."

Asking questions is essential

Take care of your mind

Take advantage of the community

be kind

to everyone

(including yourself!)
