Flower girl drawing

 

You are more powerful than you know; you are beautiful just as you are.

I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels.

Women do cry, sometimes meek and submissive. But once ignited or motivated; they are a lot stronger than men.

Act like barbie, smoke like marley.

A girl is not a predictable book but is a closed diary.
