Liberate Girls to be fashionably free :)

“We teach girls shame. Close your legs, cover yourself, we make them feel as though being born female they’re already guilty of something. And so, girls grow up to be women who cannot say they have desire. They grow up to be women who silence themselves. They grow up to be women who cannot say what they truly think. And they grow up–and this is the worst thing we do to girls–they grow up to be women who have turned pretense into an art form.”

-Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Tough Skin

Tough Skin

“In my opinion having a tough skin comes with age. I get mine from the ‘Creative’. It doesn’t mean that one is impenetrable. It means that one has the ability to accept life as it happens with no regrets. From this stems nurture. From beneath this very skin lives acceptance and understanding. Creatures outside of self will always do exactly what they will. So do what you must, and take care of yourself.” -Gracie
