this book reads like a fable, reflecting on important life lessons through a storyline that felt like myths and legends; having the courage to follow your goals when external factors settle in, pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone in any phase of your life. i lost the plot at times— it may have been too religious and spiritual for me.
