Dusty Sunlight

Why hello, my name is Ali. 18. I like dragons and maps and the smell of old books. My heart belongs to my family, the earth, traveling, reading, writing, and the wildlife. Maybe peanut butter too. I used to be mostly sad, but now I'm becoming mostly happy. Spread light through warm cups of tea, and come on in and get to know me =)

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

The best portion of your life will be the small, nameless moments you spend smiling with someone who matters to you.

I know I've been gone forever! But I thought you guys would like to know that on Wednesday night this past week, I ran with hundreds of other students across campus at midnight... naked. Life is full of weird events. Mostly I'm just proud that I was comfortable enough with my body to do that. To be honest, it was pretty liberating.

sometimes i’m like “why am i still here” but then i realize that i’m often the only person who is around to take bad-to-eat stuff out of my dog’s mouth and i think there’s this sort of western idea of “if youre not CEO youre nothing special” but my dog is still alive bc of me and i’m still alive bc of other people so maybe i’m just here to pet cats and wear sweaters and help people take the glass out of their mouth. you know? maybe i won’t be CEO but maybe i’ll be able to help somebody afford their trip home. and i think that’s pretty okay, you know?

important things to remember

if someone doesn’t reply to your message they are probably busy, not ignoring you

just because someone doesn’t message you first, it doesn’t mean they don’t care about you

if someone seems upset or distant they probably aren’t upset at you in particular

lots of people love you and you’re not annoying

Be gentle with yourself. You’re doing the best you can.
