We must travel in the direction of our fear.

John Berryman

[apisdorsata]

Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

Marie Curie

The more you're in love with something, the harder you will work on it. And the harder you work on something, the more you will succeed.

Drew Barrymore

Whatever you're meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible.

Doris Lessing

[apisdorsata]

The only way to get a thing done is to start to do it, then keep on doing it, and finally you'll finish it, even if in the beginning you think you can't do it at all.

Langston Hughes

[apisdorsata]

To be happy is a choice you make every day, every hour, and refining and renewing that state is a constant pursuit.

Julia Roberts

[apisdorsata]

Whenever you're going through anything in life, when you step outside yourself and focus on others, that's always the best remedy.

Halle Berry

[apisdorsata]

Above all, be the heroine of your own life, not the victim.

Nora Ephron

don’t start dating your crush if

the attraction is purely physical (wanting to bang them =/= romantic compatibility)

you feel pressure to change or hide parts of yourself to get them to like you

aspects of their lifestyle make you uncomfortable (i.e. alcohol/drug use, people they hang out with, etc.)

they invalidate or belittle your identity or your passions (i.e. “Bisexuality means you’re confused!” “Writing can’t be a real career!” etc.)

they never stop talking about their exes

they only talk to you to vent their emotional baggage

they routinely ignore you without explanation

they’re only interested in conversations about themselves

you put effort into getting to know them, but they don’t seem to care about getting to know you

you constantly worry about their approval or pleasing them

no matter how much you like someone, basing a relationship around worshiping or trying to fix someone or fueling an inferiority complex is unhealthy and leaves you vulnerable to toxic and emotionally draining relationships. attraction is strong and we do dumb things when we’re infatuated with someone, but please remind yourself that your own well-being should always take priority over any potential romance and run far away if anyone, especially your crush/partner, suggests otherwise.

Your self-worth is determined by you. You don't have to depend on someone telling you who you are.

Beyonce

This place is my home.

[apisdorsata]

We're a team

[apisdorsata]

It’s been a month since we declared to one another that we absolutely wouldn’t fall in love.

Well, there goes that.

Shy Octopus Turns Serious Scientists Into Total Softies

If you’ve never heard scientists awwww at an octopus before, here’s your chance.

[apisdorsata]

Dude I'm a scientist and we awww all the time. Tiny things are the best, including but not limited to 5 mL blood tubes, 100 mL flasks of all sort, tiny ice packs that come with abcam antibodies, 200 uL tubes, and this one time a tissue cross section of a uterus looked like a cat butt under the microscope. Less cute, but definitely made me awwww.

[apisdorsata]

Dear Northern New Mexico, I can’t wait to breathe your air once again.

[apisdorsata]

I spent Saturday night drinking jello shots and sliding across the floor on a furniture dolly, as a human hungry hungry hippo. If I have to stop doing this in order to be an adult, please don’t let that day come.

Somewhere along the lines of this, another friend here is engaged. I immediately started lamenting the lack of a barfing emoji. Clearly, I am mature and marriage material.

[apisdorsata]

There's no one else I would rather chase the moon with.
