It’s human nature to want to fix things. That was my first thought, actually, but you’re right. Someone should take you as you are, not have an agenda for how they want to change you.

What you make of pain defines who you are.

So I was looking for another short quote to use for calligraphy practice. Instead of heading over to trusty, old Google, I decided to look for book quotes I ‘clipped’ on my Kindle. And this caught my fancy.

2016 Personal Theme: Live Boldly
By Nathalie on March 24, 2016Now, this was a little late in coming, what with almost a quarter of the year almost done. But the thing is, it took a while for anything concrete to materialize as an underlying theme to guide my endeavors for the coming year months. But something finally popped up, all thanks to Will Traynor:
…live boldly. Push yourself. Don’t settle. Wear those stripy legs with pride.
Unlike last year, I am not exactly at the top of my [reading] game this year. At least, not lately. Before I got my oven, I was usually at least 3 or 4 books ahead of schedule. But ever since I started baking and selling brownies on the side, my reading time has been cut back drastically. Not that I’m complaining. But still.
It looks like for the first time since I started, I might not be able to meet my goal number of books to be read. Sad thought. I could always lower the target number of books, but that feels like an admission of defeat.
