Who Will Comfort Toffle?

Yesterday i received an amazing book straight from Finland. My dear Annika had her father and sister bring me a childrens book famous in Finland when they came to visit her here in America. The book is called Who Will Comfort Toffle? by Tove Jansson. The book made me cry alittle. Its about a little man named Toffle who was very lonely and was traveling trying to find someone who will be there for him. During his journey he comes across a message from a Miffle who needs saving from a very scary Groke. So Toffle decides to save Miffle and they stay together and become friends. I recommend everyone to read this book it is absolutly amazing. I love the book. Thank you my dear Wonder Woman!

Against the grain

This is part of a song by Nickelback and i just love it. I think that it is amazing and ever since i have heard it and thought about it, it makes me want to do just that. To go against the grain as the way of my life. To live my life without regrets and to have fun and to do whats right and be ok when i make a mistake.To realize that true perfection is being able accept yourself and your mistakes as who you are and that they all make you who you are. I would not be who i am without my mistake and triumphs. So bring it on world i am going to live my life how i feel its right for me even if its crazy weird and unique!
