In the end, it's not the years in your life, it's the life in your years.
Be who you want to be; not what other want you to.


Imperfection-is graceful
That stands tall-and high
You have to strain your neck
To be willing to recognize

You may your chew cud funny
Your butt may be too big
You have a round tummy
And your leg-is like a twig

I’ve seen the prettiest person
And I’ve looked in the mirror
To see all my imperfections
And never-shed a tear

this is Emily Dickinson's poem, "Hope is the Thing with Feathers" but in mine, imperfection is being compared to a giraffe.

I love how you compare a giraffe to imperfection
