1.10.19 // Went out to the mall to pick up a new calendar for the new year and came out with a little more! I’ve also been loving magazines again, but ones like Frankie, Broccoli, Womankind and New Philosopher. They feel so much more real and authentic. Check them out!

Not really a headcanon, but will this do? After a long day's work, Rhett stands up and goes over to Link sitting in his chair and starts to massage his broad shoulders. Link groans and hangs his head to allow a better massage and Rhett leans down placing soft kisses up his neck till he gets to Link's ear and whispers "I love you".

Existentialist philosophers teach us that we alone are responsible for creating a meaningful life in an absurd and unfair world.

To say that we have absolute freedom to pursue our life’s meaning presumes that there is nothing getting in our way. But this isn’t always the case.

In The Ethics of Ambiguity, existentialist author and philosopher Simone de Beauvoir notes that as children we shoulder no responsibility; we live in a ready-made world with ready-made values. As we mature and become acquainted with our freedom we can begin to take matters into our own hands. However, many of us revert back to our childhood ways, trading freedom for security. Why?

Some of us are cut off from our goals; many of us are manipulated into pursuing desires that are not ours. We can be willed towards fruitless endeavours and therefore excluded from creating a meaningful future for ourselves.

The problem is that the oppressed often don’t know they are oppressed; they view the world as one that cannot change, as “a natural situation”. The only escape, according to de Beauvoir, is revolt. “The oppressed can fulfill his freedom as a man only in revolt.”

As de Beauvoir famously stated: “Life is occupied in both perpetuating itself and surpassing itself; if all it does is maintain itself, then living is only not dying.” For de Beauvoir, life is one of continuous change, an unstable system in which balance is continually lost and recovered. For her, inertia is synonymous with death. [full article]
