Freedom is a state of mind @azureaquarius - Tumblr Blog

“I want nowness without decorating it with a future that will redeem it or with a hope — up to now what hope wanted in me was merely to sidestep nowness. But I want much more than that: I want to find redemption in today, in right now, in the reality that is happening, and not in promise, I want to find joy in this instant”

— Clarice Lispector, trans. by Ronald W. Sousa, from The Passion According to G.H.

everything is better with classical music. example:

drinking coffee: normal, mundane

drinking coffee with clair de lune playing in the background: ethereal, elegant

theivorypiano

drinking wine: alright

drinking wine with danse macabre in the background: fancy vampire

irrelevant-curiosities

drinking water: necessary, good for your health

drinking water with flower duet from lakmé: tasting the elixir of life in a heavenly garden while wearing a flowing gown of light

Isn’t it wonderful how you can choose to start over again at any moment? You can totally reinvent yourself on a whim if you so choose. I could start a garden, take up rock climbing or pottery, learn about auto mechanics...anything I want to do, I can do it

Team “not actually oblivious to flirting, just terrified of appearing presumptuous” represent.

“Yes, in the balance of consideration this person’s behaviour could certainly be interpreted as flirtatious, but it would be purest arrogance for me to just assume they actually meant what they said. I should gather more evidence. Forever.”

If courage isn’t the absence of fear but doing the right thing regardless of it, maybe confidence isn’t the absence of insecurity but knowing you have real worth despite it

By this same token, maybe goodness isn’t the absence of bad thoughts or impulses, but the conscious choice to behave according to your moral ideals in spite of them.
