Don’t worry about what everyone else is doing; just be true to yourself. Be the best you can be in this moment and the rest will come to you.


“Mad was the last kid I saw and he was asleep. He was 3 months old and they put him in my arms and he stayed asleep and they put him in the bath and he stayed asleep and I thought he was narcoleptic or something. Then he opened his eyes and just stared at me for the longest time and I just stared at him and I started crying and he smiled. And it wasn’t that he smiled that he liked me, it was just that I hadn’t held children in my life and I was always considered so dark and I always had so many things that made me feel like maybe I shouldn’t be somebody’s mom because certainly the world has an opinion of me and I’m not so sure about myself and am I gonna be the best mom? So the fact that this little kid seemed at ease gave me the courage to feel like I could make him happy. And so we became a family right then.” — Angelina Jolie

I wasn’t actually in love, but I felt a sort of tender curiosity.

—F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Why is it that I feel like this may possibly be my current love story? What is reality vs. something imagined? Am I Daisy and he is Gatsby?

Long-distance is a true test.



Simple and adorable.
