Does it come in big girl size?

Just a fun fact:
Zara makes me want a kiddo...just so I have an excuse to buy these ridiculously perfect pieces. I'm jealous of this little girl. I want to wear her clothes.

a little love..a little kindess.

today i miss swazi. a lot.
i miss
holding those babies.
dancing with my brothers and sisters.
time to be quiet.
knowing exactly where i'm supposed to be
and
what i'm supposed to be doing.
i miss being pushed outside of my comfort zone
and bunk beds.
i miss accountability
and little buddy
and debrief...yes, i miss debrief.
I miss swazi time and everything that means.

today my heart aches for substance.
