so many interesting women. i love their dedication. not one hour is wasted. they get up early and go to bed late, and then repeat the day. this is what it takes to live your life on purpose. i am wasting mine

[Miyahideko]

I actually really appreciate the dedication to uniformity. Its about the whole team and how the performance looks overall. I am also obsessed with the bob. Looks so cute and modern.
