“Everybody is a hero in their own story if you just look.”

What will be included in your life story?
I saw this photoshoot dedicated to fashion photographers Inez & Vinoodh celebrating manga or Japanese comics and started to think about my story. Then I came across the quote above about how everyone is a hero in their own story. It makes sense that when we look back at our lives, we want to celebrate the parts of it where we are portrayed as the best versions of ourselves; we want to remember that we are kinder, more generous, more intelligent, and certainly prettier than we may actually be. I don’t deny that I want my story to highlight the good parts. But now that I have a daughter, I also realize that I don’t just want to be a hero in my own story, but an important character in someone else’s story as well. I want to have made a meaningful impact and brought not only curiosity, ambition, and hope, but laughter and of course love. Here is to being a hero in the stories that matter to us most!
Have a lovely week!
I love these pictures so much!! I have no idea what will be included in my story, everything I suppose, as long as there is love in there, then I am happy ;)) Xxx
Kizzy, what a beautiful way to put it! I want my story to include love as well!
So creative!

I’m sure you and your husband will both be heroes in your daughter’s story 🙂
Be glad you’re not in NYC right now. It’s freezing!
Aww, thank you Rowena! I hope that we are included in my daughter’s story too. Yes I’m glad we aren’t in NY now and I’ll be there when it turns nice and warm again!
These are kind of insane but cool!
Not quite sure what my story is yet, but I do not this editorial is STUNNING! Love it!

What a fun editorial! I really like the eye makeup. I think it’s very true that we are the hero of our own story 🙂
Ooh, this is brilliant. Natasha Poly looks so divine – and that makeup!

I love these whimsical shoots, and appreciate the anime influence.
I suppose we all need to be the heroes of our own stories… no one else can save you from yourself.
Such a whimsical shoot! Hmmm, my life story; being mindful and letting love reign.
