I was born a jeweler*...

 

“... I don’t give a shit what the world thinks. I was born a bitch, I was born a painter*,

I was born fucked.

But I was happy in my way.

 

You did not understand what I am.

I am love.

I am pleasure, I am essence, I am an idiot, I am an alcoholic, I am tenacious.

I am; simply I am…You are a shit.”

 

~ Frida Kahlo, from an unsent letter to Diego Rivera
