Life is all about learning. There are the big things — like learning how to walk or learning how to love on your own — and then there are the little things, like learning the value of compassion.
But how many of us learn simply by appreciating life?
Sometimes, we get so caught up in our day-to-day lives that we forget to appreciate ourselves and others for who we are. That is where Instagram maven Rachel Wolchin comes in.
Rachel Wolchin's Instagram page is filled with stunning photographs, sketches and doodles, and serious words of wisdom. She reminds us all that it is important to love ourselves as much as we love others, and to stop defining all the good we come across in life.
Rachel Wolchin is one of those people who simply enjoys being alive and is kind enough to share her words with all of us. Some of them are poetic, others simply state the facts. One thing her posts all have in common: they resonate with you.
After scrolling through her Instagram, I can guarantee you'll be thinking, "damn, she's good!" Because she is that good.
