" When I had nothing to lose, I had everything. When I stopped being who I am, I found myself. "

Most people want freedom but they settle for security because they don't want to lose what they have. But every great thing comes with a price, you must be willing to sacrifice something to attain freedom. When you let go of everything you fear to lose, that moment your freedom begins. When you have nothing to lose, you get everything.

When you will stop being what you think you are, you will find your true self.
