Oh, Frida, I hear you, sister.

“I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it's true I'm here, and I'm just as strange as you.”
― Frida Kahlo

So many years after you were on this earth, I think of you, dearheart.  I think of how similar we are in some ways, and your honesty and bravery in your art will forever inspire me. You were here on this earth, and you were strange.  I am strange too, and if my strangeness can be anything like yours, I will be truly blessed.

All my love,
Your mad, bisexual, pain-riddled sister in spirit.

No seriously, I about cried at that quote.  It's like, a moment where I felt I wasn't alone.

She is just wondrously beautiful isn't she? We let our daughter choose her baby sister's second name, and she chose Frida after Frida Kahlo :)
