Fall in love with your life

“I firmly believe in small gestures: pay for their coffee, hold the door for strangers, over tip, smile or try to be kind even when you don’t feel like it, pay compliments, chase the kid’s runaway ball down the sidewalk and throw it back to him, try to be larger than you are— particularly when it’s difficult. People do notice, people appreciate. I appreciate it when it’s done to (for) me. Small gestures can be an effort, or actually go against our grain (“I’m not a big one for paying compliments…”), but the irony is that almost every time you make them, you feel better about yourself.”

WORD YALL BE WILDIN!

Repeat after me:
I feel so grateful to have been born in the body I was born into. I’m the woman of my dreams, I could not have dreamed to be anybody else. Each time I look at myself in the mirror I’m perplexed by my unique beauty, every time I accomplish a goal I’m perplexed by my morals and intellect. There is, there has, and there will always be only one of me, I’m irreplaceable.
