And I Am Telling You (by kth1110)
Be.
For my best friend Lauren and my anchor.
“Be bigger than you are and braver than what you fear. Be the voice for those who are silenced and the light for those near. Be all than you must. Be all that you can be. But whoever, wherever you are - know you’ll always be with me.”

Conclusion
there is nothing that is out of reach. nothing that is stretched beyond your grasp. when we restrict ourselves we limit the possibilities to those that are only in reach. and who wants the right in front of you, scratched up display when you can reach all the way back & pick the most pristinely packaged, untouched option.
in conclusion — i now know to try harder. stand on my tippy-toes. lunge forward. and hold on to the things i’ve earned from the work i’ve put in. create your estate with the things you are proud of and be humbled by the things you’ve put away. know to respect humble beginnings — they are a reminder of where you came from and how far you’ve come — they create great character and modesty.
the whole of it
what a wonderful thing it is to be apart of something so big we may never understand, see, realize, know most of it. life is most incredibly engineered with no author. to think about where it all started - i’m not sure at all - but we are the intricacies of a grand design. and we must appreciate what we do not know.
life was simple and easy when you had nothing to lose. and i believe you need that — you need those care free years. they teach you the value in things, because now i know the people, places and things to hold on tight to, and the ones to let go.

I’m absolutely head-over-heels for Lauren Bacall. Known mostly for her marriage to one of my personal favorite people, Humphrey Bogart, but a great actor herself.
She’s sharp, feminine, strong & severly beautiful.
I find those dark, smokey movies filled with quick wit, passion & violence so alluring. Lauren Bacall became an idol to me the first time I saw her as Slim in To Have or Have Not along side Bogart. She was only 20 when the movie was shot but her character had left such a huge impact on my expectations for actresses. She was quick witted yet so vulnerable that I was completely captured by her. Bacall continued her movie career with a powerful presence that kept the movies she was apart of some of the best I’ve seen.
I may need to watch The Big Sleep asap.
“A planned life is a dead life.” -Lauren Bacall
