Jean Lachance

One day, you will come home

There will be days when who you are may seem a mystery
Where it is hard to cleave the expectations of others from your own desires

But this journey is your own - with each step you take, the path becomes more clear
Know that it is okay to make wrong turns, to trip yourself up

Mistakes are part of this process, and detours sometimes have the best view

But one day, you will come home - not to them, but to you.
