For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

My friend Mere, who takes beauteous pictures and is in South America for three weeks, posted these words yesterday at seetheworldbeforetheworldends.tumblr.com and I love it.

You’ll meet Mere here on lahloshelter too, cause she takes pretty pictures when I make tasty foods, and we are going on a road trip all over the west in June, and hopefully making a trip to Iceland in October.

But until then, here’s to living a life you are proud of.
