Be the Lighthouse (Because Lighthouses Aren’t Built Next to Each Other)
There's this thing people say: "Be the lighthouse." It sounds cute, doesn't it? Pinterest-y. Slightly overused though. Living it? That's a whole different story. Because lighthouses aren't built next to each other. They stand alone — on cliffs, in storms, on jagged...
