Every time

I think of you

Fluid stars

Fall down

My cheeks

From the sky

Of my

Eyes

[isaaima]

I’m falling for you 💙 . Caption Credit : @ahmed.sultann . . . . . . #niagrafalls #niagra #niagrafallsny #naturephotography #nature #fall #niagrafallsnewyork #love #newyorkstate #2020 (at Niagra Falls) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDudQ-0MxIB/?igshid=13warq2mcp485

here is your gentle reminder that there are dandelions growing through cracks in the sidewalk. there is a fence lizard on the porch who is growing a new tail. there are trees growing through an abandoned house, branches tearing through the ceiling, ferns carpeting the floor. there is life pushing forward, pushing through.

Do you want to be happy? Let go of what’s gone, be grateful for what remains, and look forward to what is coming

WE NEED TO ACT NOW

The role plastic products play in the daily lives of people all over the world is interminable. We could throw statistics at you all day long (e.g. Upwards of 300 MILLION tons of plastic are consumed each year), but the impact of these numbers border on inconceivable.

For those living on the coasts, a mere walk on the beach can give anyone insight into how staggering our addiction to plastic has become as bottles, cans, bags, lids and straws (just to name a few) are ever-present. In other areas that insight is more poignant as the remains of animal carcasses can frequently be observed; the plastic debris that many of them ingested or became entangled in still visible long after their death. Sadly, an overwhelming amount of plastic pollution isn’t even visible to the human eye, with much of the pollution occurring out at sea or on a microscopic level.

The short-lived use of millions of tons of plastic is, quite simply, unsustainable and dangerous. We have only begun to see the far-reaching consequences of plastic pollution and how it affects all living things. According to a study from Plymouth University, plastic pollution affects at least 700 marine species, while some estimates suggest that at least 100 million marine mammals are killed each year from plastic pollution. Here are some of the marine species most deeply impacted by plastic pollution.

Sea Turtles

Seals and Sea Lions

Seabirds

Fish

Whales and Dolphins

More than ever, the fate of the ocean is in our hands. To be good stewards and leave a thriving ocean for future generations, we need to make changes big and small wherever we are.

[isaaima]

Sometimes I wonder why you couldn’t love me the way I loved you. Sometimes I wonder why I wasn’t enough and why you couldn’t just be satisfied with me alone. Sometimes I wonder why you even bothered to approach me if you weren’t really in it. Sometimes I wonder why I had to fall in love even when your attention was not fully mine. Sometimes I blame myself, other times, I blame you.

Have you ever craved someone? Not in a sexual way, but you wanted to hear the sound of their voice or feel the warmth of their body.
