Simple and True

Repeated because I feel compelled to say something, but I honest to goodness don’t know what to say … ♥ You see, for me, it seems So. Incredibly. Easy. because it’s all about respect.

Butterflies and Turtle Tears

Butterflies and Turtle Tears

I stumbled upon this image yesterday and mush, I instantly became. Butterflies. Turtle tears. waaaaaa. I then looked up lachryphagy because I had never, ever heard this word before and although it’s definition has the makings of a pretty intense horror movie I prefer to remain comfortably blanketed in awe. And how very fragile, this …

Neosporin and a Band-aid

Neosporin and a Band-aid

A few days after we enthusiastically rang in the new year, I sliced my finger. Had I paid a bit more attention to the plastic covering outside instead of the AWESOMENESS inside ?? my unfortunate mishap would not have happened.
