A good education should break down barriers, not erect them. 19/8/20
My grandfather who dies before I was born, once told my mum that education is the most important thing he could leave for his children, more important than wealth and riches.
Barbie, the film, asked, do you ever think about dying? 2/8/23

We must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope. 5/12/21
A few weeks ago I was asked what I was hoping for. I was taken by surprise the fact that I couldn't automatically rail out a list of things. At times of crisis, I felt that descprate sense of hope for things fall outside of my control, the hope of having a family, a home, a dream job, the hope of healing and recovery for loved ones facing death. But in that particular momment, I hoped for nothing. I realised this lack of wanting hadn't come out sense of profound contentment, but instead represent a feeling that perhaps hope was futile. Perhaps I hope for nothing, after saying prayers never answered, wishes never granted, flashbacks of hopes never realises.
