Frida Kahlo is My Favorite

I am sure her struggle with pain is why I am especially drawn to her now. I always had an affinity toward her paintings and her fiery spirit, long before I ever experienced such pain myself. I love her love of flowers. I love the beauty that came from her darkness. I love her inspiration of strength she has given me.

Here are some of my favorite quotes, photos, and paintings:

“Don’t build a wall around your suffering. It may devour you from the inside.” – Frida Kahlo

“At the end of the day we can endure much more than we think we can.”― Frida Kahlo

“I must fight with all my strength so that the little positive things that my health allows me to do might be pointed toward ... the only real reason for living.” – Frida Kahlo

“I am not sick. I am broken. But I am happy to be alive as long as I can paint.” – Frida Kahlo

"I don't paint dreams or nightmares, I paint my own reality." - Frida Kahlo

"Feet, what do I need you for, when I have wings to fly?" - Frida Kahlo
