"The kindest people are not born that way, they are made. They are the ones that have experienced so
much at the hands of life, they are the ones who have dug themselves out of the dark, who have fought to
turn every loss into a lesson. The kindest people do not just exist – they choose to soften where
circumstance has tried to harden them, they choose to believe in goodness, because they have seen
firsthand why compassion is so necessary. They have seen firsthand why tenderness is so important in this
world."
