I want to explode

Sometimes I feel like exploding and crying and ripping my heart out.

Sometimes.

A lot of times.

always looking for a place to escape a sea to drown in

The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness.

Vladimir Nabokov (via story-dj)

We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.

Seneca (via thequotejournals)

Mr. Robot was right. Control can sometimes be an illusion. But sometimes you need illusion to gain control. Fantasy is an easy way to give meaning to the world, to cloak our harsh reality with escapist comfort. After all, isn’t that why we surround ourselves with so many screens? So we can avoid seeing? So we can avoid each other? […] So we can avoid truth?

Elliot Alderson (via muneerahwrites)

These thoughts have made you stray Further and further from the proper Way; You think your monarch’s palace of more worth Than Him who fashioned it and all the earth. The home we seek is in eternity; The Truth we seek is like a shoreless sea, Of which your paradise is but a drop. This ocean can be yours; why should you stop Beguiled by dreams of evanescent dew? The secrets of the sun are yours, but you Content yourself with motes trapped in its beams. Turn to what truly lives, reject what seems – Which matters more, the body or the soul? Be whole: desire and journey to the Whole.

The Conference of the Birds, Farid al-Din Attar (via roxygen)

Something unappeased, unappeasable, is within me.

It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. I was so preposterously serious in those days…Lightly, lightly – it’s the best advice ever given me…to throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly my darling…

Does man think that he will be left to wander without purpose?

Jupiter’s moon, Callisto.

something-in-the-way-she-knows

is no one going to explain what all the lights are

wardens-oath

they’re impact craters! callisto is one of the most heavily cratered object in the solar system, and as far as my very basic research has just gone, the light parts are essentially iced over impact craters

so, essentially, we’re looking at something with a very frosty/icy surface. they’re bright because they reflect the sun!
