Hey you! I need your help! I'm doing a research project on graduation celebrations around the globe and stuff like yearbooks and leavers hoodies and this short survey (really it doesn't take long at all) is about that! If you're from any country other than England or Germany you would really really help me if you would fill out the survey and reblog it or share it with people who you know who could help me out! Thanks in advance :-)

ok but do you understand how exhausting it is for me to never get a break from me

[wordsnquotes]

I’m tired, can’t think of anything and want only to lay my face in your lap, feel your hand on my head and remain like that through all eternity.

There’s probably a German compound word for that feeling you get at 2am when you’re single in your mid twenties and the creeping doubt that you’ve somehow missed your only chance at love because you didn’t meet someone in college and now it’s too late

In one timeline we kiss but the stars don’t come down. In another you set a world on fire for me but I perish in the flames. Another and we’re strangers on a busy street, brushing by close enough to send each other reeling off balance but not stopping. Somewhere there’s a final space where your hand in my face is the punchy climax to an epic saga, where the way our mouths meet takes the breath right out of people’s throats. One universe has us right, of all the millions stacked on millions. So it’s not this one. I can live with that. The world is full of wonders and a hundred years ago the moon was too much to dream of touching. Look how far we’ve come. Turn over your shoulder and just look. Maybe we’ll come across each other at the turning of the century, racing across the breaches between worlds. I’ll build my life on that maybe.

once the sea came to visit me, it told me stories about its lover and how bright she would shine every night, dancing in the water along with millions of stars.

To resist change, to try to cling to life, is therefore like holding your breath: if you persist you kill yourself.

Alan Watts, Wisdom of Insecurity (via kat-von-delts)

[wordsnquotes]

Sometimes I remind myself that I almost skipped the party, that I almost went to a different college, that the whim of a minute could have changed everything and everyone. Our lives, so settled, so specific, are built on happenstance.
