Sometimes I wonder who will I become and if I will ever have the courage to pursue the life I desire. Other people's opinions about my ability have taken away almost all my hope in many occasions. And then, after severely doubting myself, one day I understood that how people perceive you is not the reality, and that your capacity only depends on whether you are willing to grow through the discomfort of doing many things for the first time and then mastering them.

And in the midst of all the chaos of their lives they found a way to be happy. Laughing at life's adversities as if they were nothing. Sharing the things that scared them to the point of not letting them sleep at night. They found peace within themselves, and that gave them the courage to love, the passion to fight for their dreams and the wisdom to inspire lightness in the lives of their loved ones. That day was the glorious day when love conquered fear, and they celebrated until the sun went down. — Written by MODELCALIFORNIA @oliviaedit, @synnagule and @camillehulspas photographed by @carlydame https://www.instagram.com/p/CqTITD3oZDg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. Robert A. Heinlein @kikohenriiques in the photograph https://www.instagram.com/p/CqLz8sToQK8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have the deepest affection for intellectual conversations. The ability to just sit and talk. About love, about life, about anything, about everything. To sit under the moon with all the time in the world, the full-speed train that is our lives slowing to a crawl. Bound by no obligations, barred by no human limitations. To speak without regret or fear of consequence. To talk for hours and about what’s really important in life. — Author unknown @candiceswanepoel photographed by @jeromeduran https://www.instagram.com/p/CqGnKC-IJB9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Her bad memories turned her life into a bitter memory that never ended. She eventually learned that time washes the pain away and teaches you to hold on to what is precious. Now she looks back and appreciates the strength with which she carries herself after the storm. She has become iron-woman and will never turn back. — MODELCALIFORNIA @lea_fon photographed by @joschkalink.portraits https://www.instagram.com/p/CohRhFGgFoL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
