I wish she was my mother, or a teacher, or a neighbour, or anyone else, I just want a woman like her in my life

[@Vesnicie]

I used to have a professor who smiled just like him, and I could never tell if he was heartily agreeing or quietly laughing at me.

I love her messy hair, her messy stuff around her. Zero glamour, very authentic

[@Oma11179]

Anyone from TikTok 😊

[@katietots89]

If she had an album of poetry readings or just her talking I would buy it.

[@sarahkay8436]

She should make an audio book for children...

Imagine having a cup of tea with her out on the porch, swinging comfortably in one of those old fashioned flower printed benches, books and poetry in hand. What an image.

She could even read a check list from the grocery store and I would be like: wow. That's beautiful. Her voice just give me a "thing"

[@emily9577]

Helena saying "just do things now because this ain't a rehearsal" is my new inspirational quote. ❤️

[@mmmmmok8165]

Even when she is little messy, she still being a beautiful woman, and she is sooooo charming, and badass at the same time, can she adopt me?

[@AdrianasWonderland]

I want her to be a TED speaker, a teacher on University, an Oscar winner, a poet and queen of England. She is everything the humanity needs.

[@sae-mikim9385]

I love the way Helena speaks. So full of grace and character. She was born to be an artist.

[@mvc1412]

When she reads the poem is like she's acting it, lol.

[@hanawana]

I love her chipped nail polish

[@ladykay9834]

She could read anything and it would be calming to me....
