I need out of the city. Need to stare at stars and clear my head. Smell the pine and roast marshmallows. My soul is in dire need of this asap.

I would live here!

We’re just all gutted here. The cosmos have taken back their star. We’ll have more on Bowie throughout the day. –Lars

Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.

Kurt Vonnegut (via disbar)

Yes!

Jero 

The Jero is built to bring adventure to your doorstep. Inspired by the yurt - a portable structure developed by the nomadic people of Central Asia - we’ve taken time-tested principles and refined them using cutting edge design and manufacturing techniques to bring this ancient dwelling into the 21st Century. Its compact pack-size liberates valuable storage space when the yurt is stowed away, while the lightweight construction allows it to be transported in a car with ease.

The Jero is produced in collaboration with designer and adventurer, Uula Jero, who put the original prototype through it’s paces as he made it his home for a year.

The truest of loves. The kind I have always desired.

[naturelovingmama]

Sometimes life is incredibly confusing and hard. Then you get these moments where everything seems just right. Confusion and challenges don’t dissipate, but you handle them with much more ease and you have support in a partner. When surrounded by love, everything is easier.
