don't forget to be really stupid and weird at school, or work, or simply in the comfort of your home today

[sender-paulson]

When the angel came to Galilee

With wings of drifted snow

Gabriel's graceful hand did tilt

Mariah's head down low

Barely a woman, more a girl

Given an unexpected gift

Wrapped in ominous prophecy

Of the life her child would live

Under shining stars and moonless dark

Bethlehem held her breath

So sure the screams within the manger

Were warning cries of death

Mariah felt the weight divine

As she laid her newborn's head

In simple straw, though shocked the gold

Turned, at her touch, to red

As years went on, she watched her child

Performing acts of wonder

Always knowing a day would come

When he'd be torn asunder

And when thirty pieces traded hands

With a kiss that meant to kill

Mariah bowed her head again

As her son walked up the hill

She watched the nails and spear draw blood

Remembering her own spill'd

The crown of thorns upon his head

A sign of prophecy fulfill'd

And as she watched her firstborn die

The sins of mankind paid

The angel's voice rang in her ears:

"Be not afraid."

— Sender Paulson, Be Not Afraid (25 December) (inspired by a post by @noknowshame)

ibuprofen is a type of angel that can live inside a bottle in your house

Does anybody get in that mood where if you don’t absolutely destroy your life in the next 5 minutes you’ll spontaneously combust

[somnolentsuggestions]

i want to be kind. even when i think i’m forgetting how

[squabblingoblin]

Sorry to bother you but I'm but a weary traveler, could you spare some soup or perhaps some bread before i return to my trecherous journey across your dash?

[kinkymjolnir]

i want to be soft and kind and happy. i want to be a small sun that warms everyone around me. i want to smile and tuck my hair behind my ear and laugh. i want to be so full of love, i can't help but spread it all around.

i don’t know who needs to hear this but everything will be okay.

i know it seems scary and daunting and really, really hard. but there are better days coming, warmer loves, more opportunities to live.

it’s okay to not have everything figured out, especially if you’re still studying or you’ve just graduated or you just don’t know what to do next.

take it slow, take some deep breaths, you’ll figure it out. be gentle with yourself.

What if after some years, we don't worry over the things about we cry for today? We laugh about being so silly to chase them to dead end only to realise that it made no sense instead we open a small cafe in a small village where we have built our home away from home. I wish us to be full of ecstasy and love for us as much as we are trying to have right now.

for every mundane thing that you do, pretend that you're part of a Studio Ghibli animation.

seriously, you'll start to pay attention to even the smallest details, everything will seem more important, more beautiful. give it a try

[drizzlingtears]

every two minutes, i slip into an alternate reality where i live the life i yearn for 

[ritikajyala]

As a child, I was always searching for the meaning of it all, the big Why; and my father always said that there is no one big purpose but I had the most ripe orange today and kissed my cat goodnight, I think that's enough purpose for a day.

-Ritika Jyala, excerpt from The Flesh I Burned

[hold-my-hand-please]

i just want to be a cat in late spring. because then i could just sit in the sun and blink slowly and maybe chase a bug. i think that’s what we all want
