I let it go. It’s like swimming against the current. It exhausts you. After a while, whoever you are, you just have to let go, and the river brings you home.

I am sick of haunting myself from within like an old house.

I must learn to love the fool in me - the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries.

Nowhere in Particular, Matthias Heiderich

[connotativewords]

You ruin your life by desensitizing yourself. We are all afraid to say too much, to feel too deeply, to let people know what they mean to us. Caring is not synonymous with crazy. Expressing to someone how special they are to you will make you vulnerable. There is no denying that. However, that is nothing to be ashamed of. There is something breathtakingly beautiful in the moments of smaller magic that occur when you strip down and are honest with those who are important to you. Let that girl know that she inspires you. Tell your mother you love her in front of your friends. Express, express, express. Open yourself up, do not harden yourself to the world, and be bold in who, and how you love. There is courage in that.

your value and “usefulness” as a human being does not lie solely in your ability to fit in, work a job, study, pay for things/buy things, look a certain way, produce, procreate, etc. we are not robots. we are not clones. we are not livestock. we have the gift of consciousness for a reason.

yes, the physical world is important and we cannot ignore it, but we must first take care of our foundation, our greatest capacities: love, empathy, sharing, unity. 

our value and usefulness first lies in our ability to love ourselves and others; to be (as much as possible) kind and non-harmful, and to share/unite. inner-growth through self-love & peacefulness will yield the greatest outer-growth, despite what societies, systems, and governments likes to command and demand. 

what is the point of living this life if not to feel love, and receive it, from yourself, and others?

a system that does not encourage and foster this is not a system you can trust to tell you your worth as a person.

Syria became home to the refugees who fled the armies of Ibrahim Basha in 1839 Syria became home to the Circassian refugees in 1860 Syria became home to the Armenian refugees in 1914 Syria became home to the Palestinian refugees in 1948 Syria became home once again to Palestinian refugees in 1967 Syria became home to the refugees from Kuwait in 1990 Syria became home to refugees from Lebanon in 1996 Syria became home to the refugees from Iraq in 2003 Syria became home to the refugees from Lebanon in 2006 It will be written in the history books and generations will remember, that Syria never closed it’s borders for those who fled their homes seeking safety and refuge. Syria has never asked any Arab for a visa to enter it’s lands whether it was a visit or permanent stay. In Syria not a single tent was put up on the borders to accommodate for refugees across the years, houses were opened, streets were vacated and cities were renamed to allow for refugees to feel at home. Let it be written in the history books and let the generations remember, that when a Syrian needed help and refuge; borders were closed and the world looked away.

At Least 70 Dead Refugees Found in Truck on Austria Highway

The Number Of Dead Refugees Found Suffocated In An Abandoned Truck Was Officially Corrected To 70. The bodies were discovered on Thursday piled on top of each other in a cargo container in a vehicle parked off the highway in Burgenland state, already partly decomposed. It was not immediately clear how long the truck had been in the area, where temperatures in recent days had been as high as 90 degrees. Forensic teams were dealing with the discovery, with police initially only being able to say the vehicle was “full of bodies.“

Can we please give this attention? Please?? I see people on tumblr scream about donald trump and “deez nuts” who are literal jokes while this is happening! This isn’t just one thing! thousands of refugees are trying to escape the war in Syria, women are trying to escape the rape and abuse of IS and men are running away out of fear of IS. Please give this attention! 4 children died in there too. some EU countries are thinking of building walls around their country so the refugees can’t get in. This is a real thing going on. Refugees escape Syria only to float around on a small ass rubber boat with 100 other refugees IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DARK OCEAN. Most of the time they drown. And if they don’t drown, they TRY to find shelter in another country. Imagine you on a rubber small boat, with 100 other people in the middle of the dark ocean. You have no fucking idea if you’re going to survive but everything is better than staying in Syria.

I just want people on this website to realize what the fuck is happening in europe and the middle east at the moment. I just want things not to be centered around america and dumb ass political jokes. People are getting murdered, raped, assaulted and abducted & even when they try to escape, their chance on a good life is small.

Please reblog this people need to give this more attention on this website!!! My people are dying out and being oppressed, including children and old people but nobody on this website seems to give a shit about that!

Please know it’s not just Syrians. We have refugees from all over the world! We also get a lot of Sinti and Roma refugees from Balkan states that are often sent back! This is an international crisis and we need to have compassion for everyone. This is a global problem of distribution of wealth and resources to be quite honest, not just a problem of war. All refugees are important, whether from a war zone, or a country where they’re simply afraid for their lives or not allowed to live under humane conditions. People come here for safety, for a future, we have to support that. It’s not just Syria. Schengen needs to die. Borders need to be eradicated.

You’re told that you’re in your head too much, a phrase that’s often deployed against the quiet and cerebral. Or maybe there’s another word for such people: thinkers.
