The perfection of a picture does not resemble a perfect life, behind them are stories untold, battles being fought and struggles to overcome. I love pictures because to me they are symbols that though things are not perfect in the real world and though the struggles are not captured, there is still hope. Never loose yourself in the battle, the victory is yours as long as you keep you head up, dust yourself off and keep moving! . . . . . . . . . #PanAfrican#Motivated#Womandla#Mimshack#Doek#woolbraids#KeepYourEyesOnTheMark
