Transcript excerpt

But life is not a puzzle. It's a wave. And you were never meant to carry the wave. You were meant to let it move through you. The joy, the fear, the heartbreak. The moments that didn't make sense until much better. You were never broken. You were becoming. I think the sadness comes when we try to hold on to what's meant to pass.
