It’s funny how sacabambaspis is like the funniest looking animal in every hypothetical except for that one picture that makes me feel like I’m about to be killed

Virginia Woolf, from a diary entry featured in “The Selected Diaries of Virginia Woolf,”

“No, I’m not ok. But I haven’t been ok since I was 11, maybe 12. I am still here though. I’m still breathing. For me, sometimes, that will have to be enough.”

— Clementine von Radics

Isn’t it strange?

One comes after the other.

I found the face of my first lover,

And after that it follows the last.

Is this a way to ask me if I prefer the last one or the oldest?

As the smoke snitching on the fire,

Your pure soul shows me what it comes after you,

And the cicle of pain begins,

Should I play again this game?

Is God giving me a chance to try once more?

Or my ado just enjoys watching me choose

The wrong boy over and over again?

As a trans woman I can confirm that they indeed found an ancient forest inside a 630ft deep sinkhole in China

[gayweeddaddy69]

cis people can reblog this but keep it on subject, please

[senshibignaturals]

Happy pride month everyone always remember that the sinkhole has an ecosystem large enough to house not only insects but likely several species of small birds or mammals

Why life feels so wrong?

Is my body acknowledging how much should I miss what was once mine?

I’m sick of watching and whiteness that everything that was mine is now someone else’s.

But every time I see backwards, I see nostalgia and pain, burden of what could have been and what never will.

[pa-ad]

Count no man happy till he dies, free of pain at last.
