A few of my favorite lines:

“But getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.”

“No matter how wide you stretch your fingers, your hands will always be too small to catch all the pain you want to heal.”

“If you make me laugh hard enough, sometimes I forget what century I’m in.”

My Top Takeaways

Step one: I can

Step two: I will

Step three: Doing the work is not enough. You must infuse your work with things specific to you, even when those things are changing.

Final Thoughts

In Sarah’s words, “Great stories start from the intersection of what you’re passionate about and what others might be interested in.”
