You look in the mirror and sometimes may see a mess of a human being. But you don’t see the lives you’ve touched, or the people you’ve saved. You don’t see all the love you’ve given freely, or the extraordinary memories you’ve made. You are a book of beautiful moments and feelings. You are not weak because you cry. You are not a simple being. You make plants come back to life and you turn cold rain showers into warm downpours. You are a piece of art that makes people feel things. You don’t bring people to their knees, you give them a solid footing. And that is beautiful. -Unknown #itsme🖤 #shesagingerwithasoul💋 #hardtobeabeautifulginger #alwaysintheshade🌴 https://www.instagram.com/p/B6gpZ2DDpJKG54p109erFnBDh_XoYd0RUM8aAU0/?igshid=1o9homuk9gojw

I have learned that the friends who hold your hand through the tough times and watch your soul twirl during the best, are the ones you should spend your life time dancing with. -Stacie Martin thanks for always being my dancing partner, the one who makes me laugh so hard I die, and who lets me cry uncontrollably when there’s not even a reason to. And shoutout to running into my mermaid sister!!! #sincethirdgrade #thehomie #a1sinceday1 #fortheloveofdippyeggs https://www.instagram.com/p/B50l2PtjM5D-5IUfBa0wEtQO9tNwnl1Rax_VQI0/?igshid=zoltjmt2xk6r

Happiest birthday to my red headed mermaid sister!!! Thanks for accepting me as one of your own from the beginning. Love you 😘 #hardtobeabeautifulginger #mermaidsisters #gingerswithsouls https://www.instagram.com/p/B5qKrcEDenBNbPy8EbjXJMaFqnNLqVigi72UrU0/?igshid=1f57qyg6qutgo

I can’t believe we been doing this for 9 years. It seems like just yesterday I was struggling to balance you and my Thanksgiving dinner plate on my lap fresh out the hospital. It’s crazy because I swear I blinked and where my baby once was is now a whole young man. You shock me daily with the things you say and do. You constantly have me dying laughing. And you amaze me with your empathy for others. I couldn’t ask for a better kid to be figuring out this parenting thing with. I hope that you have a happy birthday bug, I love you!! #hesthebest #hesreallynine #mybaby #myminime #proudmommy https://www.instagram.com/p/B5NX8-sDWihsfVUoN2vI8yCCgI8OvylU5yJfgE0/?igshid=1gpa7nymtmpbn

In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take. -Winston Porter Thorton (and those eyebrows) #itsme🖤 #shesagingerwithasoul💋 #hardtobeabeautifulginger #alwaysintheshade🌴 #decadechallenge2009to2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/B5LtdWLjCpH8rUYtk2NKvUaYYtqvpL1yT_RSZU0/?igshid=1aa611jmdx2gq

She is love, and a little f*cking unstoppable. -Nicole Lyons #itsme🖤 #shesagingerwithasoul💋 #hardtobeabeautifulginger #alwaysintheshade🌴 https://www.instagram.com/p/B5K97JWDOlYl2Bk6un9ya0RUhIax70fQFHtDkY0/?igshid=hno0obiozvr6

I am fire-if you want something salty and sweet, with no opinion, I’m not for you. I spit flames, often. -Jane Robinson #itsme🖤 #shesagingerwithasoul💋 #hardtobeabeautifulginger #alwaysintheshade🌴 #thisgirlisonfire🔥 #straightfacts💯 https://www.instagram.com/p/B48KVlWjIbABZDjssil1rAJzhbto5QlB6JyaTM0/?igshid=1fb6ve5b7rk28

She’s completely unexplainable. You think she’s a good girl, but once you get to know her, you realize she’s everything. She’s crazy, she’s funny, she’s honest, and you never know what she’ll do next. -Unknown #itsme🖤 #shesagingerwithasoul💋 #hardtobeabeautifulginger #alwaysintheshade🌴 https://www.instagram.com/p/B40lr_-j3GM2A9njrqZ71CD64ictL9MHcrDqqY0/?igshid=mo0aegxmwjpg

It almost feels like today is my birthday because I’m the one who got the best present of all, you as my best friend!! You make this whole friendship thing so easy. I’ve never met someone who just gets it and even if they don’t it’s not even hard to explain. Thank you for always being there (even when I said I didn’t want you to), never judging me (except for my amazing taste in men), and exposing me to the kind of unconditional love you only see on the Hallmark channel (yes my parents had it on all night). You’re the second funniest person I know (because we both know I’m funnier) and by far the most compassionate. My life has been exponentially better with you in it and there are not enough thank yous in the world. I hope you’ve laughed and cried reading this just as I have writing it. I love you and hope you have the happiest birthday because you deserve it. @francescaaann #thatsmybestfriend #alishush https://www.instagram.com/p/B4uYv9rjkRTI6Mt1trUnnwmzqfmGRULHe764eA0/?igshid=1opz49n7mayvl

She’s proof you can walk though hell and still be an angel. -r.h. Sin #itsme🖤 #shesagingerwithasoul💋 #hardtobeabeautifulginger #alwaysintheshade🌴 https://www.instagram.com/p/B4cb0nnjUsx85G8hknyFJYERypp8j28c2tkV640/?igshid=1nrfi4p79ug02

She was never crazy. She just didn’t let her heart settle in a cage. She was born wild, and sometimes we need people like her. For it’s the horrors in her heart which cause the flames in ours. And she was always willing to burn for everything she has ever loved. -R.M.

She’s not for everyone and she knows it. People find her different and strange. She dances in the rain, she laughs when she cries and loves through her pain. People fear the unknown and they never knew a girl like her. -M.S.
