Of all the places, I happened to be in Vegas when I saw this little gem while strolling down the strip. At the time, I hadn't realized how much I needed these #words. Growing up, I was always told to not be so italic, that I needed to pull my head down from the clouds and live in the real world. I went through the motions, did all the things I was supposed to do. My inner world continued to develop anyway. #Characters and #stories full of promises and possibilities. I kept them all locked away as I worked on what was expected of me. Until now, when my characters demand their stories be freed. In order to do that, I need to be both italic and bold. #quotestoshare #inspireddaily #beitalic #bebolder What keeps you from being italic and/or bold?
