1. "Celebration when your plan is working? Anyone can do that. But when you realize that the story of your life could be told a thousand different ways, that you could tell it over and over as a tragedy, but you choose to call it an epic, that’s when you start to learn what celebration is. When what you see in front of you is so far outside of what you dreamed, but you have the belief, the boldness, the courage to call it beautiful instead of calling it wrong… that’s celebration."

    “Cold Tangerines” by Shauna Niequist (via julie911)

    i’m on the verge of accepting this, but not just yet

About

To those who found their way to my tumblr, hello and welcome. My name is Melissa. I'm a 22 year old college graduate working crappy jobs day and night living life and taking joy where it finds me. I'm a storyteller at my most fundamental of levels and tell them in the ways in which they should be told-sometimes in words, sometimes in drawings or painitngs, sometimes in silence. Shared here is a lot of my own personal work, along with anything that inspires the storyteller in me, things that simply take my breath away in both laughter and beauty. Enjoy the journey. Every story is heard.
