<p>And I worked way, way, way, way, way harder than I should have because I thought that if I didn&#8217;t work hard, people would see that I wasn&#8217;t worthy of being their teacher.<br />

<p>Let&#8217;s just take a second and really feel all the pain that you&#8217;ve been feeling. And put your hands over your heart.<br />
-Danielle De La Mare</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t say yes if it&#8217;s not something that really speaks to you, if it&#8217;s not really a deeper sort of desire of yours.<br />
-Danielle De La Mare</p>
<p>What is it like to be me? Do I even know right now?<br />
