Hello! I've been following your blog for some time now, and now, as I stopped by to read some quotes, it was really hard for me because, well partly I have sight problem, but it was hard for me to read the quotes because the colour of the font, it's too bright in my opinion. Just thought you ought to know. Keep up the great blog! Love, Anne ~

Hi Anne,

Thanks so much for your kind note and letting me know about this. I never realized this. I promise that I will soon change the theme and choose more readable font. Give me a few days and I promise that I will do my best to make it easier for you to read awesome quotes. I am so bad when it comes to choosing the theme design. :) Love :)

“I began to draw an invisible boundary between myself and other people. No matter who I was dealing with. I maintained a set distance, carefully monitoring the person’s attitude so that they wouldn’t get any closer. I didn’t easily swallow what other people told me. My only passions were books and music.”
