the social norm of “its your ethical responsibility to be constantly aware of, and angry about, every bad thing happening in the world at all times, even if you can’t possibly do anything about it” is possibly the best way I can imagine to create burnout and cynicism and depression in a population, so good job guys

“Most of the time the universe speaks to us very quietly in pockets of silence, in coincidences, in nature, in forgotten memories, in the shape of clouds, in moments of solitude, in small tugs at our hearts.”

“I am sorry if I’m cold at times. If I’m numb, and quiet. There is just so much going on in my head, so much noise, chaos, that I forget to be present. I forget to exist in the moment. I find myself lost in my mind, wrapped in my thoughts, drowning in emotion. You see, there is a voice within me that will not quiet, no matter how hard I try to tame it. I know, I need to stop listening, I need to stop believing it. But how can I run away from my own self? How can I break free of my own mind?”

— Isabel Cabrera / /  a mess of a mind (via delicatepoetry)

I’m sorry but art needs it’s context posted by it when in a museum. Not everyone understands why Malevich painted his black squares. Not all patrons will understand Rothko’s thoughts pressed between his layers of paint. And not every one will be able to look at Kandinsky’s symphony’s on canvas and know what’s going on. Every piece in every museum aught to have what it is, why it’s important, and why/where it was created, and what reaction it got. I’m tired of the elitism in artistic culture that makes people feel as though they could never understand it. It’s because they know the context and you don’t! And museums have failed at that for years. It’s their job to teach us, just as much as it’s our job to be willing to learn.

“It is quite unbelievable that there will be people that I will love unconditionally that I have not met yet. Somewhere out there, in a supermarket or singing in the shower, there are souls that have not touched mine yet but will, eventually.”
