Quote from an inspiring woman

"I have never understood why some people are lucky enough to be born with the chance that I had, to have this path in life and why across the world, there is a woman just like me with the same abilities and the same desires, same work ethic and love for her family, who would most likely make better films and better speeches.

Only she sits in a refugee camp, and she has no voice. She worries about what her children will eat, how to keep them safe, and if they’ll ever be allowed to return home.

I don’t know why this is my life and that’s hers. I don’t understand that but I will do as my mother asked, and I will do the best I can with this life, to be of use."

• Angelina Jolie

Trying to raise some money for the upcoming run! Just because.

Came across a late teenage boy recently over a meal with family friends, and the sense of entitlement he felt was so strong it made me a little sad. Was I like that too as a teen? am I still like that? We all are a little entitled. We are all a little entitled, a little spoiled, a little self-righteous, a little dishonest, a little narrow-minded, a little judgmental, a little superficial, a little narcissistic, a little ungrateful... or maybe not just a little. maybe a lot. And I don't think it's ever fully "fixable". But hey at least when we are aware of our own downfalls, our own brokenness, and be educated about the world.... we can try to be a little more kind to one another.
