"i can never read all the books i want; i can never be all the people i want and live all the lives i want.
i can never train myself in all the skills i want. and why do i want?
i want to live and feel all shades, tones and variation of mental and physical experience possible in life.
and i am horribly limited."

  1. This is officially the best way I've seen this shirt worn. I never ever think to put pretty shirts under dresses, but that's why I love blogging, it's so darn inspirational.

    Your pictures are so pretty and creative. Seriously, if someone asked "Who would you want to take pictures with" it would be YOU!
