“Filled with dreams and passion, people want life to be at its fullest in every season in life. Traveling to exotic locations as we dream to explore the world, getting that job you always wanted to support our love ones. Our hearts dictate where we go with our desires. Sometimes we lose hope and break our hearts, but resilience is like gold, it seals up the cracks and make the cracks in life beautiful and stronger than before. The patterns on the valves function like family they are all different and unique but they balance each other to form the bigger and greater picture and function as one.”
