We cannot run from our true selves, Herr Wyatt. Deep down…
““We cannot run from our true selves, Herr Wyatt. Deep down inside, the person within us knows what it wants to be. It struggles to free itself of the lies we tell it. For some people, they tell themselves that they need to go to college and get a job in an office somewhere, when really what they want to do is start a business or travel, or become a missionary. No matter how much we lie to that person inside us, they will always find a way to get out. That, or they will make us miserable for our entire life until we set them free.””
