As you can obviously see, I am an Aquarius nerd who loves quotes and K-Pop! You'll most likely see a whole bunch of K-Pop reactions and meaningless quotes. But all in all enjoy :D!

You came to see me,

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

For the first time in weeks,

Before that it was months,

Of not seeing you.

It felt so good,

The words we shared.

I know you love me,

I could see it in your eyes

And hear it in your words.

I will wait for you my love as long as I know you want me to.

[borderlineinlove]

Fuck. He came back.

Out of nowhere like rainfall in a desert. Unexpected. Rare. Life saving.

"I'm falling faster than a star, much faster than 71 km a second.. soon I will hit your heart and cause an explosion within your soul so beautiful that all you will be able to do is stare into my eyes in disbelief, yes darling, this is love."

The day you actually realize that I love you is a day of sweet reckoning, the day I truly will hold your heart - eUë

[prettyindiangirl]

I always want More. I always want a deeper richer connection. I am not willing to settle nor to stop growing.

I desire an emotionally open and accepting relationship.

I need to feel my man and know he understands me on that deeper level.

The level of bliss and communion beyond sexual satisfaction..

The level where our souls merge.

If you’re scrolling through tumblr trying to distract yourself from something you don’t want to think about or you’re looking for a sign that everything will be okay, this is it. So, breathe. Relax into this moment. You’re alive & that’s all that matters.

[the-healing-mindset]

This! There was a time very recently where I really did feel as if things would never be okay. I couldn’t see my way forward and everything was just a blur. But I can say that things do get better. It gets easier.

Please, if you need to talk/vent or whatever else, reach out.

i will defend improvised storytelling till the day i fucking die i think stories told by people under pressure to do it fast, stories told in collaboration…. that shits gorgeous and ALIVE. have you ever gone to a writing workshop and someone writes the rawest shit in the entire world during a ten minute free write? playing dnd and some dialogue is so moving it makes you wonder how it came from your dumbass friends? got really into one of those ‘one sentence at a time’ campfire story games and ended up making something— totally unrecorded, lost except to the people who were there— that should have been in the fucking moma?

people are full to the BRIM with stories and honing that storytelling into a specific practice (ex. writing) is for sure a learned skill that takes tons of practice to do effectively but…… it’s there. it’s there and anyone can tap into it if they’re given opportunity and an audience to say it to.

look, the point of telling stories is to connect with other people. and all we’ve ever done throughout human history is connect connect connect so is it any wonder when you put a human being in front of an outlet and you say ‘tell me a story’, no one stays silent?

Love isn’t only love, sweetheart. It’s hard work, and trust, and tears, with even a few glimpses of devastation. But at the end of each day, if you can still look at the person at your side and can’t imagine anyone else you’d rather have there, the pain, the heartache and the ups and downs of love are worth it.

I like to see people reunited, maybe that’s a silly thing, but what can I say, I like to see people run to each other, I like the kissing and the crying, I like the impatience, the stories that the mouth can’t tell fast enough, the ears that aren’t big enough, the eyes that can’t take in all of the change, I like the hugging, the bringing together, the end of missing someone.

I sometimes think that people’s hearts are like deep wells. Nobody knows what’s at the bottom. All you can do is imagine by what comes floating to the surface every once in a while.

Hey, we’ve all been there, right?

[handweavers]

there are still many textile-related things that cannot or at least have not been successfully automated. sewing isn't automated, for example, but you can use machines to make the process faster as long you have a human to operate them. no article of clothing was produced entirely without human hands. all knit items like chunky sweaters had to be manipulated on a knitting machine by somebody. all seams on your garments were sewn by somebody.

then there's the things that don't even have machines at all. crochet (unlike knitting) does not have any machines capable of replicating it so whenever you see something that has been crocheted even if it's a small part of a larger piece that was done with a crochet hook by hand. it's the same with basketry - machines cannot weave baskets. no machines were involved in making any woven basket you see, that was 100% a human being putting the entire thing together so it could be sold for $2 at dollar tree. you ever have a piece of furniture with woven rattan on it, that was also made by a person, no machine involved.

these things all take a very long time, less the more often you do it but they still take a lot of time. how much did you buy it for? how much were they paid for making that? i can't look at anything the same way anymore. i look at my pillow cases and i wonder whose hands made them, where they are right now, if they're okay. how many did they make every day? so many it probably blurs together, they don't even remember making the one i got. how much were they paid for it? i don't know but i know the answer is that it was not enough. idk these things swirl around my head all the time now

i highly recommend the clothes horse podcast for a start on more information on this and how you can make better decisions and get involved to change it. because yeah. the people who made your clothes, your interior décor, your bed linens, your home furnishings, from the base materials to the complicated stuff. most of them aren't paid well. some aren't paid at all. historically and currently, textiles are a major user of unfree labor, exploitation, and environmental destruction.

i feel like. certain words are not slurs, but they don’t need to be in order for you to realize you probably shouldnt call a stranger that. like, “slur” shouldnt be a justification to not use a word or make it forbidden, i think that should just be common sense that makes you realize if a word is inappropriate to use in a certain context. people on this site and just online in general are really weird about insisting things have to be explicitly labelled as Slurs in order to understand you shouldn’t call strangers those things. like what does that say about your own critical thinking abilities
