- As corporations drape themselves in rainbow colors for Pride month, remember that they only engage in such activism in the West where it's fashionable, and not in the East where it's actually needed, because their activism is motivated not by principles but by PR. https://t.co/jV1VCCRCxZ

[Chill.] A definition
the sudden awareness that no one knows what they're doing
And life is short.
And much of what you’re worrying about right now, in the fullness of time, just doesn’t matter.
You may not “got this.”
You may not “figure it out”
You may not be have the perfect plan.
But neither do the rest of us.
So take a deep breath, smile and relish the mess.
"Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end" - John Lennon

" i acknowledge that you have not been able to count on me to be a voice of support in your head. when things go wrong, i commit to you, that if you fuck every single thing up, if it all goes wrong - and if it all goes wrong to the max, and everybody leaves you, you can count on me to be support in your head. you don't need to worry about you and me being in a room alone and me tearing you down. "
-Jere Simpson - Field Tripping
“Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.”

I have led a toothless life, he thought. A toothless life. I have never bitten into anything. I was waiting. I was reserving myself for later on—and I have just noticed that my teeth have gone.
