So I stopped talking about it. There’s no need to talk, because the truth of what one says lies in what one does.

We wear clothes, and speak, and create civilizations, and believe we are more than wolves. But inside us there is a word we cannot pronounce and that is who we are.

So I was observing Claire Keane’s wall mural model for Rapunzel’s tower, and I found so many incredible details that made me love this mural even more: pardon the flash

Markings for young Rapunzel’s height progress with age

This illustration showing her stitching her own dress at the same time, holding a piece of fabric and all around her are drawings of dresses and corsets

At the bottom, clearly showing what best she could paint as a kid

and scribbling on the bottom still when she was young

This painting is beside mother gothel’s bedroom door, so I assumed it was to depict her nature since it had more gloomy color compared to the rest of the mural

This amongst many paintings of her dresses (Maybe she painted these as a young teen maybe??)

And just these beautiful paintings which I probably reflected what Rapunzel loved doing most of the time

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter - - - for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself… Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

As long as you can start, you are all right. The juice will come.

Lower your standards for what counts as progress, and you will be less paralyzed by perfectionism.

“ A dream is a wish your heart makes when you’re fast asleep. In dreams you will lose your heartaches. Whatever you wish for, you keep. Have faith in your dreams, and someday, your rainbow will come smiling through. No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true. ”

Tolstoy’s Ten Rules.

At 18 years old, Tolstoy set himself the following ten rules:

Get up early (five o’clock). Go to bed early (nine to ten o’clock). Eat little and avoid sweets. Try to do everything by yourself. Have a goal for your whole life, a goal for one section of your life, a goal for a shorter period and a goal for the year; a goal for every month, a goal for every week, a goal for every day, a goal for every hour and for every minute, and sacrifice the lesser goal to the greater. Keep away from women. Kill desire by work. Be good, but try to let no one know it. Always live less expensively than you might. Change nothing in your style of living even if you become ten times richer.
