BEAUTIFULLY INVINCIBLE

“If I have learned anything this year, it is that I won't ever be ready for what life throws at me. I won't have the right words when it counts; I won't know what to choose when fate it self is staring at me down. But now I know I don't always need to have the right answer. ~ I've learned I can go on waiting for something, sustained by hope and nothing more -- or I can put it aside and shrug my shoulders. Bravely accept the fact that I can't keep my heart safe anymore than I can stop love from taking everything from me. ~ I have learned to stop saying yes when I don't mean it -- to live as authentically as I know how. To allow the tips of my fingers to skirt the darkness, as long as I remember to keep my eyes fixed one the light. And as one door opens and another closes, I will move forward with the knowledge that unlike so many others, I have another year ahead of me -- another shot at making it all the way around the sun, And a chance to get it right this time round.” - @langleav | new beginnings #HappyNewYear2018 #LangLeav #poetrycommunity (at MoMA The Museum of Modern Art)

“This world is not made of shades of grey. It is made of colours like azure and coral and emerald and marigold. But it insists on painting everything in black and white and fitting it into boxes that it understands. Do not do that to yourself. Paint your personality a million different colours. Leave them scratching their heads, unsure of how to handle the magic that you are.” - @nikita_gill, Colours (at Rockafeller Center)

The past several months a lot of truth has been revealed to me... And as it comes, I’ve been making a conscious effort to keep myself aware and open to receiving whatever form it takes. I’ve traded in judgement and decided to sit here, understand and let the experiences flow. In doing so, who knows what I might find. I remember, in one of my weakest moments.. the following words found me, through me.. and I’ve been holding onto them ever since. Whatever it is you may be experience, may they serve to remind you, to guide you, or reinforce the truth you already know within. May these words strengthen your core 💫 “You cannot be broken. For you are light as a feather, swift and formless. You cannot break, but you bend. You adjust and grow. You are boundless, eternal. You cannot be depleted. You are bigger, bolder, and more beautifully resilient than you can see.” | wearing @stronger, feeling just that 💛 (at New York, New York)

Lately wherever I go explore, I’ve been relying on my Google Pixel 2 to capture everything! Not going to lie - the quality of this camera is super impressive! You’re guaranteed an amazing pic, even in lowlight! 📸| @_coolj23 (at Columbus Circle)

@google really knows how to make this girl smile with its Pixel 2. This phone is an answer to my phone storage prayers and I’ve been taking full advantage of that all month. And yes, unlimited storage means unlimited attempts at that perfect brunch pic 😋 excited to try something new this season - learn more at the link in my bio. #giftfromgoogle #teampixel (at The Butcher's Daughter)
