~ Audrey Hepburn
A woman I
know decidedly does not look like Audrey Hepburn -- at least not outside her fantastical
imagination. Nonetheless, she has used
Holly G as a moniker when writing online reviews and as her code-name when
playing laser tag. (It seems visions of
Tiffany's sometimes dance in her head.) This woman has a dear college friend who from
time to time sends her postcards with beautiful photos of Audrey. Recently, the friend sent this woman a book
of Audrey photographs on the set of Sabrina. Inside the book, the college friend wrote,
"Hope you enjoy reading about yourself, my favorite Audrey." The woman I know was thrilled to receive the
book, but even more touched by what she decided was her friend's romanticized
notion of her. But on further
reflection, this woman realized that her friend has always held space for her
to be the best version of herself.
