Fairies appear to have all the passions and wants of men ; but are great lovers of cleanliness and propriety; for the observance of which they frequently reward servants, by dropping money in their shoes : they likewise severely punish sluts and slovens, by pinching them black and blue.

There are 4 things you must never do: lie, steal, cheat, or drink.
But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love.
If you must steal, steal away from bad company.
If you must cheat, cheat death.
And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.
Brianne Kelly Darragh . IRELAND.

ANAIS NIN

The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.
