I won't ask you to tell me how beautiful I am, even if it's a lie ... I won't ask you to thank me for everything I do for you, nor to care about me when my soul is down, and of course, I won't ask you to support me... I won't ask you to do anything, not even be by my side forever. Because if I have to ask you, I don't want it…

As a huge Frida Kahlo fan myself, I thought I'd seen just about all the best photographs of the iconic artist, but today I stumbled upon an enormous archive of personal snaps on the Casa Azul tumblr site.

As a young woman, becoming a painter was not a part of Frida's career goals. Her goal in life was to become a doctor but a tragic accident at age 18 changed the course of her life forever. Artist Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907, in Coyocoán, Mexico City, Mexico.
