When the angel came to Galilee
With wings of drifted snow
Gabriel's graceful hand did tilt
Mariah's head down low
Barely a woman, more a girl
Given an unexpected gift
Wrapped in ominous prophecy
Of the life her child would live
Under shining stars and moonless dark
Bethlehem held her breath
So sure the screams within the manger
Were warning cries of death
Mariah felt the weight divine
As she laid her newborn's head
In simple straw, though shocked the gold
Turned, at her touch, to red
As years went on, she watched her child
Performing acts of wonder
Always knowing a day would come
When he'd be torn asunder
And when thirty pieces traded hands
With a kiss that meant to kill
Mariah bowed her head again
As her son walked up the hill
She watched the nails and spear draw blood
Remembering her own spill'd
The crown of thorns upon his head
A sign of prophecy fulfill'd
And as she watched her firstborn die
The sins of mankind paid
The angel's voice rang in her ears:
"Be not afraid."
— Sender Paulson, Be Not Afraid (25 December) (inspired by a post by @noknowshame)

Does anybody get in that mood where if you don’t absolutely destroy your life in the next 5 minutes you’ll spontaneously combust

i want to be soft and kind and happy. i want to be a small sun that warms everyone around me. i want to smile and tuck my hair behind my ear and laugh. i want to be so full of love, i can't help but spread it all around.

i don’t know who needs to hear this but everything will be okay.
i know it seems scary and daunting and really, really hard. but there are better days coming, warmer loves, more opportunities to live.
it’s okay to not have everything figured out, especially if you’re still studying or you’ve just graduated or you just don’t know what to do next.
take it slow, take some deep breaths, you’ll figure it out. be gentle with yourself.

What if after some years, we don't worry over the things about we cry for today? We laugh about being so silly to chase them to dead end only to realise that it made no sense instead we open a small cafe in a small village where we have built our home away from home. I wish us to be full of ecstasy and love for us as much as we are trying to have right now.

for every mundane thing that you do, pretend that you're part of a Studio Ghibli animation.
seriously, you'll start to pay attention to even the smallest details, everything will seem more important, more beautiful. give it a try

As a child, I was always searching for the meaning of it all, the big Why; and my father always said that there is no one big purpose but I had the most ripe orange today and kissed my cat goodnight, I think that's enough purpose for a day.
