• We can't all be stars; we can't all be leaders. We are all God's creatures, living life, and we have that God light in us and we're supposed to let it shine.

And they're smarter than most of us that are out there showing our asses.

Festivals are kind of magical places, and you need to soak as much of that up as possible.
