Ami
added a status update: People either love her or hate her but I love Angelina Jolie. I have an aunt who's a breast cancer survivor (she had a mastectomy) and another great aunt who died because of ovarian cancer. There is history of that in my family. Her decision is a brave one. If such decision saves our lives why should we feel "less of a woman"?

“You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.”
― Madeleine L'Engle

“Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.”
― William Shakespeare, The Tempest
