“I’ll never be as good as her.” “There’s no way I can compete against him.” “My work will never look like hers.” “Someone else will always be smarter than me.” “I’m always going to live in someone else’s shadow.” “I am nothing special.” Raise your hand if you have ever thought any of these things […]

You guys, this couple. Where do I even begin? Their love for one another is so evident – in the way that they look at each other, interact with one another, support one another, just everything. I was so honored not only to witness them “tying the knot” but to have the incredible responsibility of […]
