I’ve been talking about Alysa Liu’s story about her quitting skating only to come back and become even better because she did it for herself and this came to me in a dream…
A meme of Alysa Liu based on Da Share Zone reading:

too fancy weed store cops it your quick friend ships
IF IT SUCKS... HIT DA BRICKS!!!
Real winners quit
You can leave!!
