march 16th - wild hair wild heart


Q q


Nomad. Gypsy child. Wild. Animal. Free.
These are all terms that bring an excitement to life. 
They ring out in an enchanting sort of way. They say: expect the unexpected.  
 They are mantras that add a little spice and a hint of something special to the average day.
Runaway.
This word can be coupled with so many different meanings - to physically run away; to emotionally block; to have a sing along with Kanye West.
At times, they’re all valid ways to interpret the word. 

This is not one of those times.
Just so you know. 

Now is a time to fight for what you want & what you believe in. To use your head but also your heart. 
To push the boundaries and question the limits. To know what is important. To stick by and stand up for (insert your chosen noun). 
And to not give up.
It isn’t always clear. 
And it isn’t always going to be some kind of smooth sailing, sunset-on-the-horizon-soft-music-echoing-over-a-still-calm-sea. But if you know where to look, you will find strength and beauty in even the toughest of jungle paths. 

So instead of being a runaway, be exciting. Be enchanting. Be the unexpected.

And in case you were wondering (or you’re reading this), don’t worry, we’re going to get there. 

I’ll let you know when we get there. 

Don’t even hesitate. Just go get ‘em kids.
