― Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany's
More than two
years ago, a dear friend from college sent me a postcard while she was on
vacation in Provincetown on Cape Cod.
The card has a black and white image of Audrey Hepburn in her Breakfast at Tiffany days. My friend said that the photo made her think
of me and wrote: "'Being Audrey' is
definitely a state of mind... It seems
you are enjoying yourself 'being [you].'"
I keep the postcard by the mirror I use every morning. It gives me a little boost of confidence,
encouragement from someone whose opinion I value, which on some days comes in
especially handy. It reminds me that my
friend thinks about me -- probably more often than I know -- and that she took
a few minutes during her vacation to tell me.
I don't know if she even remembers sending the postcard, but her kindness
continues to make me smile.
