Sometimes I look outside my window and see people getting robbed. I get that the thief probably needs to make a living and that’s the best way they know how to survive. And I feel bad for the guy who’s chasing the thief because he may not be able to get another phone or whatever; this is probably something he worked hard for and someone just comes and snatches it."

I just looked at him, smiled and said, “It’s going to be okay, the only thing I want you to do is to accept my kidney, just tell your body that this kidney is yours and your body will not reject it”. At that moment, I also learned the true meaning of love where you can sacrifice your life for somebody else. Many people go through life and never get to experience that. I think fear is what keeps these boxes around us so we never really live life to the full."
