I love birdwatchers they’re like “I just saw my ALL TIME FAVORITE BIRD SPECIES! I’ve always dreamed of seeing one in the wild! I am ECSTATIC!” and it’s the most boring looking little brown bird you’ve ever seen.

the person that you could’ve been or the life you could’ve lived isn’t real. it’s an illusion and a fantasy that only exists in your head. all you have is here and now

btvs "tabula rasa" was so crazy bc when i see the episode title "tabula rasa" i'm like ok, everyone's gonna forget their memories and revert to their deep down fundamental selves, i've seen star trek, i know how this works. so i assume that spike will revert back into an evil vampire who wants to kill and eat everybody and then when he gets his memories back he feels so awful and guilty about how deep down he is still a monster. but then i watch the episode and he DOESN'T revert back to a bloodthirsty monster???? he's just like a self-conscious bumbling hapless fool who's a little bit cowardly but still wants to help so he can prove himself????? when he vamps out he doesn't realize he's a monster at first and instead thinks he has superpowers like buffy?????? he's WILLIAM?????????????????

I can’t draw very well and hated that I couldn’t draw my DnD character, a tabaxi cleric named Merry Thing, but then I remembered I’m pretty good with a needle and thread so I made her

All made by hand, hand embroidered details, and I even crocheted the lace trim on her shift!

Life is right now. While you’re waiting for your dream job, your future spouse, your goal weight, a new home, a change in appearance. Life is happening while you are working on mastering a skill, being in the unknown, not knowing which way to go, feeling stuck. Most of life happens in the waiting. Not in the achievements or successes which are nothing but milestones. Don’t wish the time you have away waiting for something that lives in the future. Look around. What does today offer that you might not want to miss?
