“I now realize what Dorothy means in the final scene from The Wizard of Oz, when she says that if you have to look beyond your front door for your heart's desire, perhaps it was never there to begin with. Maybe, like Dorothy, I should embrace the love right in front of me and not search for some elusive dream that never mattered in the first place.” This quote is to me just very inspirational , and telling you to not go out of your way. If things are meant to be then they will come for you, if not, just sit back and wait for another great opportunity.
The other quote is: “You don't get to pick who you are in this life, but you can decide what you become.” This means a lot to me because I am always trying to do what someone else wants me to do, what I think society wants me to do. Then I sit back and think to myself 'Am I becoming the women I want to be and the women my mom would be proud of, or am I becoming the women society wants me to be?"
