Noel Gallagher I DARE YOU to grow your hair out! Please! New era new locks

[christianhubicki]

It’s an interesting transition happening– me being this idea of being this “cool guy,” that’s cool to hang around with around camp. I always wanted to be that guy. You know, I always wanted to be someone that people wanted to talk to. One of my biggest fears–in this game and outside this game–is being ostracized, you know, being left out of the loop; friends, colleagues, at a party. I’m becoming this “Goliath”-like figure from these “David” origins. The fact that I am becoming this person people like to talk to and hang out with is validation that this work has been paying off– this sort of lifetime of self-improvement, if you will.

will never get over the fact that we can love people despite there being countries between us. we can miss people we’ve never seen in person. we can connect and bond over hundreds of things without ever needing to be in each others physical presence. we can have half the globe between us and love never falters.

My thoughts as I watched:

“Okay, that’s cool.”

“Dude.”

[exitwound]

when emily brontë said “he’s more myself than i am” and when hozier said “i’m almost me again, she’s almost you” and when conan gray said “i know in your head / you see me instead / cause he looks a lot like i did back then”

[thescarletgarden1990]

KNOW THEIR FACES.

Marco and Gabriele Bianchi, Mario Pincarelli and Francesco Belleggia, the murderers of Willy Montiero Duarte, a 21yo young man who didn't deserve to die.

Words cannot express how fucking disgusted I am.
