![“If there's one thing I've discovered, it's that stifling yourself will only lead to more misery. [...] I polluted all other happiness because I was afraid to let myself create and change. You have to have courage. Real courage to explore, to fail, and to pick yourself back up again.” quote by Siobhan Vivian](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/6c0/siobhan-vivian-17356_courage_if-there-s-one-thing-i-ve-discovered-it_785444.jpg)
