So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try and feel okay about them. Stephen Chbosky

"So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things.

And we can try and feel okay about them." In this quote, Simone talks about how sometimes people will never know why they were born the way they were. However, they do have the power to make their lives better or worse. The choices that they make in life can either bring good things or bad things into their lives.
