If there is anything I know or have learned, is that

I dont belong here

And that is not a bad thing

When I was younger this was a point of great hurt, but in recent years it has but grown

I do not belong here

I belong somewhere that nurtures

Somewhere quieter, slower, that prioritizes growth

Someone to worship and worships back

The earth will take me even if the people do not

She is, was, and will be, she is mother because we come from her, and will return.

I yearn to get closer

But I know now that it is not for people, but to myself.

Remember not to lower your standards just because you love someone. You can love so deeply, but you deserve to have someone look at you and compare you to every beauty this world has to offer.

Some super super fascinating stuff from @a-book-of-creatures

Honestly the biggest disappointment I had researching ABC was that medieval authors did not, in fact, see the creatures they were describing and were trying their best to describe them with their limited knowledge while going “what the fuck… what the fuck…”

Now playing… Apocalypse by Cigarettes After Sex

Thinking about xavier helping you paint.

“I can’t do this anymore.” You whine turning towards Xavier.

“What no, of course you can. ” Xavier got off the stool and walked towards you, taking his place behind you he slowly hovered his hand above yours. “May I?” He questioned, his breath hot on your ear.

Not trusting yourself to say anything, you nod. His hand grips yours gently, moving it along the canvas with ease. His hand felt soft atop yours, you wanted to grab it and never let go. You didn’t even notice when he placed his other hand firmly on your waist, when you did, however, you couldn’t help leaning into him. At this Xavier gripped you tighter, he wanted to spin you around and kiss you hard.

After a couple of minutes, he took his hand off, of yours. “Oh, we’re done!” You exclaimed, spinning around only to bump into his chest. ���I’m sorry, I didn’t - ”

“It’s ok, kitten.” He whispered, and then he kissed you.

Been taking a little moment everyday to reflect on and appreciate that the world I’m creating and building and nurturing into solidity is so much of what I long wished for out of life. Point out an area I’ve been neutral to and remind myself of how much there is to love, how much there is to be grateful for, how much there is to forgive and let go of and look forward to and celebrate, that I may not know what the universe has up its sleeve but to believe it has a plan for me even when I can’t see it for myself

Let July be July.

Let August be August.

And let yourself

just be

even in

the uncertainty.

You don’t have to fix

everything.

You don’t have solve

everything.

And you can still

find peace

and grow

in the wild

of changing things.

this site definitely doesn't allow you to paste the link to any article blocked by a paywall (say, a NYT article) so that you can read it free of charge! that would be illegal and would benefit broke college students too much. it definitely does not do that. promise.

so metropolitan museum of art has a register of books they’ve published that are out of print and that you can download for free! they’re mostly books on art, archeology, architecture, fashion and history and i just think that’s super useful and interesting so i wanted to share! you can find all of the books available here!
