Absolutely true for me, but you know what, I don't care cos life is chaos and curve balls. I've finally reached the age when I can embrace life for what it is, impractical, inconvenient, irritating but always fabulous and fun. Even on the dark days. Set your ducks free and stop striving for perfection in everything.

“Pleaseee… I‘ll be careful!”
