I love this for SO many reasons...
1. It reminds me of another favourite quote:
It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.
e.e. cummings
2. It is indeed a privilege to be alive - full stop!
3. And I love that this wee girl is allowed to scribble away on her own, outside, without having to explain herself to anyone (something I was denied). Give her blonde hair, and this image could be me :)
If only, as a society, we gave ALL people this privilege (which personally I think should be a human right)!
Sharing with Becca.
PS A belated Happy Solstice :D

DeleteSo true. In a society that tries to make people like everyone else, it is a brave thing to be yourself. But we must! It is what life is about: diversity, difference, beauty in so many forms.
