I love so many things about this. Big yes to @Brisby being amazing. The dress and artwork is beautiful, and it does indeed look like she could be a flower in a meadow.
As for your carpe diem speech, so much yes! Though sometimes I need to hide, to retreat and rest, it doesn't serve anyone to make ourselves smaller or refrain from doing things because we're afraid of what the world might think. Thanks for adding that bit in here. I needed to read it today. BIG LOVE!!!
