Just Keep Scrolling

They say you don't grow up; you just grow old. It's safe to say I haven't done both.

We don’t talk about how songs made for movies are bangers like 90% of the time. Decode?? New perspective??? Iris???? Insane

My intentions will always be pure, I don’t have time to be a wack person.

[teaboot]

I like giving people little gifts because actions speak louder than words and if I want to say "Your existence delights me, your presence is a joy, I would sacrifice any number of material diversions to see you smile, and in your absence I can only think of you and wait until we see each other again" then all I can really do to show that is produce a trinket I came across while doing so, and if the bauble itself makes you happy too, then that's a second pleasure

[teaboot]

I would rather receive a chunk of concrete that tells me, "I have only one lifetime, one body, one mind; Of my own volition I sacrificed a small piece of each at your altar; held this object in my hands and allowed you to possess me; these seconds of my life I will never have back for any other purpose, and yet I would not surrender them, but rather surrender my only gain, this little thing, to you as well, for I delight in your delight, love in your love, shine warm in the light reflected by a mirror to a candle, over and over and over again" than any amount of thoughtless jewels halfheartedly tossed my way as a tiresome obligation

never not thinking about free by florence and the machine it picks me up, puts me down picks me up, puts me down picks me up, puts me down a hundred times a day it picks me up, puts me down it chews me up, spits me out picks me up, puts me down

“Go out and do something. It isn’t your room that’s a prison, it’s yourself.”

— Sylvia Plath

[andreai04]

It’s hard to care about people. Exhausting, in fact, because empathy is a complicated thing. It requires us to accept that everyone else's lives are also going on the whole time. We have no pause button for when everything gets too much for us to deal with, but then neither does anyone else.

"If you're honest, people will deceive you.

Be honest anyway.

If you're kind, people will accuse you of selfishness.

Be kind anyway.

All the good you do today, will be forgotten by others tomorrow.

Do good anyway."

| Beartown, Fredrik Backman

[barnacle-butch]

It's important to show that you care. Fuck being nonchalant. Text first, send multiple messages in a row. Tell them what they mean to you, be honest about how you feel. Tell your friends that you love them. Love is a gift that can be given away freely, by anyone and to anyone. Show that you care.

“Why did you do all this for me?’ he asked.’I don’t deserve it. I’ve never done anything for you.’ ‘You have been my friend,’ replied Charlotte. ‘That in itself is a tremendous thing.’”

People who don’t want to read The Martian in case the science is too complicated should be informed that it contains the lines “The best way to store the ingredients of water is to make them be water”, “It is of course dangerous to set off an explosive device on a spacecraft”, and “If I cut a hole in the wall of the hab, the air won’t stay inside any more”.

“I’ve said the words kilowatt-hours-per-sol so many times they’ve lost all meaning so I’m going to call them pirate-ninjas.

“So I need to generate nine hundred pirate-ninjas…”

there’s an entire chapter dedicated to him wondering how the cubs are doing while he’s stuck on mars, dying

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I like the part where the guys on Earth are like “He thinks we all gave up on him, and that he’s completely alone. I wonder what he’s thinking about right now.” And he’s like “How come Aquaman can control whales?”

“ As with most of life’s problems, this one can be solved by a box of pure radiation. “

“Actually, I was the very lowest ranked member of the crew. I would only be “in command” if I were the only remaining person.”

Two pages later… “What do you know? I’m in command”

“Me: “This is obviously a clog. How about I take it apart and check the internal tubing?” NASA: (after five hours of deliberation) “No. You’ll fuck it up and die.” So I took it apart.

And my personal favorite :” Also, I have duct tape. Ordinary duct tape, like you buy at a hardware store. Turns out even NASA can’t improve on duct tape. Yes, of course duct tape works in a near-vacuum. Duct tape works anywhere. Duct tape is magic and should be worshiped.”

One of my favorites:

“Each crewman had their own laptop. So I have six at my disposal. Rather, I had six. I now have five. I thought a laptop would be fine outside. It’s just electronics, right? It’ll keep warm enough to operate in the short term, and it doesn’t need air for anything. It died instantly. The screen went black before I was out of the airlock. Turns out the “L” in “LCD” stands for “Liquid.” I guess it either froze or boiled off. Maybe I’ll post a consumer review. “Brought product to surface of Mars. It stopped working. 0/10.”
