"And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
-Anaïs Nin

"Don't just go through life, grow through life. Don't just be good, be good for something and someone. Goodness heightens beauty. Become who you are, who you were meant to be. Seek out knowledge and experience. The more we see, the more we are capable of seeing. The more we do, the more we are capable of doing.
If you want change, begin it. If you want love, give it. If you want hope, embody it. Start immediately and do it flamboyantly. Once you've begun, don't turn back. Change and growth can be painful and challenging at times, but as Lauren Bond said, "Every flower has to go through a lot of dirt."
Life is about choice, growth and taking chances. Is it about pushing through and moving forward. It is about loving courageously and not holding back. It is about finding a brighter, better way. You owe it to yourself and to the world to make the most out of the stuff that's in you.
Bloom into your incredibly, gloriously, brilliantly beautiful self. The world is waiting."

The above was taken from the prologue of "Bloom" - a beautiful quote book I stumbled upon and purchased at Anthropologie a few days ago. As cheesy as it may sound, it inspired and convinced me to the point that I felt a need for an outlet to pursue my creativity and passion for art (in all aspects). So here I am.
