I came across this quote from author Neil Gaiman via A Brewing Mind and it really spoke to me. So much that I printed it out and pinned it to my wall.

I looked up Neil Gaiman - and I LOVE his quotes. He really gets me! Finally a source to express my feelings that I once couldnt put into words - nicely done!

Funny how these things work out...I was scrolling through Facebook, and saw the Neil Gailman quote as someone's Pinterest posting. I was never the best of friends with this girl,(I barely know her) but I clicked on it. This quote really clicked with me, and I wound up printing this picture out and putting it on my wall for inspiration. I've been looking for inspirational quotes for a few weeks, and this fit my life. Thank you so much.
