Billy Chapata’s quote:

“Your slow phases don’t define you.

They are merely moments giving you the chance to catch your breath,

to reclaim your energy,

to repackage your intentions,

to find ways to return home.

Honour how the waves travel in your life;

things will flow in your direction eventually.”
