Better Quote by Ruben Gallego
“I'm a better person when I'm doing things that make me happy - I'm a better husband, I'm a better father, I'm a better member of Congress - instead of just trying to artificially hit these goals that used to give me some type of high but never actually really dealt with the dullness that I had in my body and my soul.”
