“i want to apologize to all the women i have called beautiful<br /> before i’ve called them intelligent or brave<br /> i am sorry i made it sound as though<br /> something as simple as what you’re born with<br /> is all you have to be proud of<br /> when you have broken mountains with your wit <br /> from now on i will say things like<br /> you are resilient, or you are extraordinary<br /> not because i don’t think you’re beautiful<br /> but because i need you to know<br /> you are more than that” <br /> ― rupi kaur

Favorite Quote:
&quot;To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.&quot; <br /> - Ralph Waldo Emerson
