Now, I don’t want to fulfill the typical “white girl” stereotype by posting tons and tons of quotes of long dead people all over my social media profiles, but I do love me some quotes. I just don’t advertise them very often. So, I’m going to dedicate a whole post to them this week.

  5. “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.” -Bernard M. Baruch
