"Start with pain. Start with doubt. Start with hands shaking… but start." ••Ijeoma Umebinyuo

 “Instead of calling plastic décor fake-- or it's fancy sister, faux-- I refer to it as pretend. It's pretend because using it and believing it's real is a workout for the imagination. We all know there's no way those tulips could survive the night in the wreath on the front door, so we are all silently agreeing to pretend together.”
