“For what it’s worth… it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you’ve never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start over again.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald –
You may have noticed that my posts have gotten shorter. For the most part, they have less writing and more pictures. I’ve been saving my words. Saving them in the best way! I promise they’ll surface someday in the near future and when that day comes, this will make sense! But for now, my most sacred thoughts, words, views and perspectives are written and being written, tucked away for something special. With outlines and edits and words re-written 1,000 times over again, I’ve still got a ways to go. And when the time is right, I can’t wait to share it all! In the meantime, I thought I would share a few of my favorite quotes. Motivational, fun and full of love! Happy Monday, all!
Xoxo, Anna
