The older you get the more you will realize that your friends are people who have made mistakes and bad decisions and even just fucked up and hurt people.

And obviously your boundaries with your friends are completely up to you but you do need to recognize that if you cut off everyone who has done something wrong, you’re going to end up with no friends (and you yourself will have also fucked up in your life, and not lived up to those impossible standards either).

I’ve found it’s much more constructive to learn how to say “hey dude, that was massively fucked up of you,” because most people are really willing to say “yeah, it was, I need to work on it/not do it again/apologize and make things right” ESPECIALLY if they are hearing it from you as their friend.

Sometimes the kindest thing you can do for another person is to tell them that they’ve done something wrong, help them fix it, and stay their friend because it’s what we would want from them if we did something wrong.

We could never have loved the earth so well if we had had no childhood in it, if it were not the earth where the same flowers come up again every spring that we used to gather with our tiny fingers. What novelty is worth that sweet monotony where everything is known and loved because it is known?

I brought out the holy book and burned my arguments over coconut husks.

The wind froze and the thick smoke took shape in the goddess’s form.

“Is it beautiful? Is it brighter there? Are people happier?” I asked.

The coconut embers rose and became her curious eyes, and when she opened her mouth, sweet incense poured out.

“You must come see for yourself.”

I shook my head and waited for an answer, a better answer.

She grew angry and impatient, and her hands reached for my throat.

Nothing - they passed through like empty promises.

Her form became eight feet tall and loomed over me, threatening to take me to her world.

I kicked sand at the coconut husks and watched the returning wind whisk her away as she hurled curses that passed through my hair.

And I brought out the next holy book and burned my arguments.

HISTORY IN COLOR

Ultramarine

RGB: (18, 10, 143)

Closest Pantone match: 2746 C

The name Ultramarine comes from the latin ultramarinus, meaning “beyond the sea”. During the 14th and 15th centuries, Ultramarine arrived in Europe through shipments coming from the mines of what is today Afghanistan. These mines produced the deep blue, semiprecious mineral lapis lazuli which was ground into a powder to make Ultramarine.The process was exhaustive, as it yielded only a small quantity of dye, and all but the finest stones produced a drab, washed-out color.

Due to its rare, precious origin and the costs of its production and shipment, the price of Ultramarine in Europe was exorbitant. During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance it was most often used in Christian art, tinting Mary’s robes the color of purity. As it was distributed through Italy, art using Ultramarine is rarer in the northern parts of Europe.

In 1824, the Societé d'Encouragement pour l'Industrie Nationale in France offered a prize to whomever could replicate the hues of Ultramarine through artificial means. The german chemist Christian Gmelin published his method of doing so in 1826, which led to one of the names for artificial Ultramarine being “Gmelin’s color”.
