ABOUT ME
There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are those who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.
PHILOSOPHY
Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you. - Walt Whitman
one must desire something to be alive. -Margaret Deland
be the change you wish to see in the world -Ghandi (my absolute favorite quote)
"It is a curious emotion, this certain homesickness I have in mind. With Americans, it is a national trait, as native to us as the roller-coaster or the jukebox. It is no simple longing for the home town or country of our birth. The emotion is Janus-faced: we are torn between a nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange. As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known.”"
— Carson McCullers
**And above all, watch the world with glittering eyes because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it**
