“do you have a boyfriend yet?”

“when are you gonna get a job?”

“what are you gonna do with your life?”

Rinko Kawauchi is a Japanese, Tokyo-based photographer whose work is characterized by soft focus vignettes describing the poetry of the everyday. In an interview, Kawauchi says that she prefers “listening to the small voices in our world, those which whisper,” it is that very thoughtful perspective that provokes meditation and invites her viewers to be sensitive to their surroundings so that they too can transform delicate, vibrant details of daily life into ephemeral treasures.

My antics

[machinegunkellyxo]

When rain starts to pour and refuses to seize- thank it for watering the flowers and trees. When heartbreak hits you with quite the ordeal- thank it for the chance to love and to heal. When a rock in the way makes you stumble and fall- thank it for showing you strength can be small. When illness keeps you wrapped tight in your bed- thank it for the health you will soon feel, instead. When coffee spills on your favorite old book- thank it for the humbled and weathered new look.  When sun burns your skin and red color you take- thank it for brightening your day at the lake. When traffic makes you late to your scheduled event- thank it for teaching you patience well spent.

Thankful // December 1st, 2015 (via machinegunkellyxo)

and the Iraqi people welcomed the Americans with flowers. I wanted to set a historical event to teach Bush a lesson from the Iraqis, telling him you lied, we did not welcome you with flowers, and instead we are saying goodbye with our shoes.“

Muntaza Al Zaidi, the Iraqi reporter who became known as the guy who threw a shoe at Bush and later ended up in jail for three years because of it.

Bush deserved much more than a shoe to his head.
