Tucker Elliot, The Rainy Season

"I spent half my childhood trying to be like my dad. True for most boys, I think. It turns with adolescence. The last thing I wanted was to be like my dad. It took becoming a man to realize how lucky I’d been. It took a few hard knocks in life to make me realize the only thing my dad had ever wanted or worked for was to give me a chance at being better than him."

"Some people have a heart to do evil and they don’t care if you’re Muslim or Christian."
