"If you see that some aspect of your society is bad, and you want to improve it, there is only one way to do so: you have to improve people. And in order to improve people, you begin with only one thing: you can become better yourself."

Leo Tolstoy (via explore-blog)

adam : you pick every flower you see and bring them to me. your big tender heart is an inspiration to me, even though it takes all my strength not to constantly cage it up and keep it constantly safe. you have the best stories, vibrate with energy and questions about our world. you want to know how cars are made, how the lights know to turn green, how bees buzz. you’re incredibly bright and intensely loving. you promised me many times you would always stay my little boy and never grow, yet you do more and more each day - while i am so proud, i wish i could freeze time with you. you are so special and unique and a gift to our lives.

marin : when i come in the door you yell Mommy! Mommy! and run to me. you are loving and cuddly and funny and strong and capable and so smart all at once, everything i hope for you as a woman. you would rather play with toy animals than baby dolls, and you wrap them in blankets to carry around and squeeze. you wear every emotion on your face and say a thousand words in each smile. i wish you would stay my little muffin forever. you brighten every day and i am so grateful that you are mine & i have the luck of being your mama.
