My favorite poem :) it always makes me feel strong and valid! I hope it will lift your spirits❤

This certainly describes me. 

stop scrolling for a second. 

You’re going to be okay, you’re strong and i’m proud of you. Catch your breath and wash your face. Grab something to drink or to eat and remember to take any medications if you need to, okay? 

You’re amazing for making it so far into life; thank you for staying alive. 

Now keep going

I don’t know what we did this year to deserve Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Wonder Woman and Spider-man Homecoming all in the same year, but I’m not gonna complain.

Book Review: Lady Bridget’s Diary by Maya Rodale

(Amazon) [-Regency Era, Mature Content-] Nissa’s Rating: 5/5 Summary: Lord Darcy is the quintessential Englishman: wealthy, titled, impossibly proper, and horrified that a pack of Americans has inherited one of England’s most respected dukedoms.

In her diary, Bridget records her disastrous attempts to assimilate into London high society, her adoration of the handsome rogue next door, her disdain for the Dreadful Lord Darcy, and some truly scandalous secrets that could ruin them all.It was loathing at first sight for Lady Bridget and Lord Darcy. But their paths keep crossing … and somehow involve kissing. When Lady Bridget’s diary goes missing, both Darcy and Bridget must decide what matters most of all—a sterling reputation or a perfectly imperfect love.

“a long time ago, natalia romanova made me remember what it was to feel human. and they punished us both for that, in different ways. fighting her now is like punishing myself all over again.”
