Choices Quote by Julia Serano

“Life has taught you many things, and the people close to you want you to have a good future, but it isn't their future in the end…its your choice you pick the path and lead the way. All your family will do is follow you while you are on that path and support you when you find the light at the end…” quote by Julia Serano
