Quote by Brooke McAlary

“I've realized that in order to leave the world a better place than I found it - to be compassionate and caring - I need to be strong, I need to be vulnerable, I need to be healthy and vital and full of good stuff like kindness and generosity and laughter. Not because those things make me a Good Person but because if I have those things, I can turn around and share them.”
