Breathe And Don't Try To Be Perfect.

And I Am Standing In Front Of My Mother, And My Whole Life I Have Wanted To Make My Mother Proud. And Now I'm Going To Make My Daughter Proud.

I Was Walking Around Legally Blind. Now I Have 20-20 Vision. I Can't Believe I Spent So Many Years Blurry, But I Think That Coincides With How I Was Feeling. Now I Notice If People Are Watching Me, But I Also Smile Right Back If Someone Waves, Which Helps.

I Was Told I Had A Two Per Cent Chance Of Getting Pregnant, So I Say She's A Two Per Cent Baby.

I Didn't Do So Well In The Academic World, So I Think The Only Way I Could Express Myself Was Through Visual Art - Anything I Could Get My Hands On, Whether It Was Glassblowing, Sculpture, Painting, Or Photography. I Always Wanted To Be A Painter. Or A Farmer.

My Parents Thought It Was Nice To Develop My Imagination, But They Never Seriously Thought That Anything Would Ever Come Of It. They Said That I Couldn't Be An Actress Because I Would Be Taller Than All My Leading Men, So I Thought I Would Be A Writer Instead.
