"For those searching for something more than just the norm. We lay it all down, including what others call sanity, for just a few moments on waves larger than life. We do this because we know there is still something greater than all of us. Something that inspires us spiritually. We start going down hill, when we stop taking risks." -Laird Hamilton

“I grew up in Hungary.  Back then we were cut off from the world.  We could only visit other socialist countries.  We were always told: ‘The country you live in is enough.  You don’t need more. Everything coming from the outside is not good.’  So we were always ten years behind in music.  But if you stayed up late, you could listen to an underground radio station from Germany.  The frequency barely came through.  But I would listen in the kitchen when my parents were asleep.  And if Pink Floyd came on, and you managed to record it, it was like gold.  You could trade the tape with your friends.  My older sister left Hungary when I was nine.  She didn’t tell anyone.  The police came and questioned our entire family.  They called her a dissident.  But she’d send me packages from the other side of the Iron Curtain: chocolate, dolls, cool t-shirts.  She sent me so many different kinds of things.  In our shops at home we only had two choices: this or that.  But my sister seemed to live in a place where she could choose anything.  And I also wanted to choose.  So when I turned twenty-two I hitchhiked to London.  And when I arrived, I found choices everywhere.  You could buy anything.  Study anything.  Wear anything.  It’s not that I wanted something specific.  It had nothing to do with greed.  It’s about choice. It’s about knowing that if you want something badly enough, you can get it.  It’s an energy.  The energy of knowing that the option is there.” (London, England)

Imagine, to be so deeply rooted in existence that entropy finds you repulsive. A beautiful thought, if you let it be.

“And perhaps that is the single greatest test of love; when two people part ways and engage unapologetically within their own self-development. And with each passing day, the distance between them grows extensively, filled by time, new experiences and the other beings they’ve encountered along the way. And in the process of it all, the love fades, or it doesn’t. I’ve seen many pairs torn apart by the circumstances of this human life, and they never did return to one another. But sometimes, though rare, there exists a bond between two souls that no amount of novelty can break. A bond that transcends time and withstands the harshness of reality and impermanence. And one day, in a single out of the blue moment, these souls reencounter each other, and it feels as though nothing between them has changed at all. So I guess my point is the following: sometimes letting go and trusting the Universe is the correct thing to do, because what’s meant for you, no matter how far it wanders, will always find its way home.”

Honestly the best piece of advice I can give to younger girls trying to figure life out is to completely ignore men. I’m not being quirky or cute when I say that, I mean it seriously. Ignore men’s judgments of you, ignore their insincere compliments, ignore their half-assed romance. Focus on developing yourself. Practice your art, play sports, do theater, volunteer, spend time with your friends, but do not put substantial effort into pleasing men. They’ll be there for you to pursue when the time comes and if you want to. But nothing will waste your youth more than fighting for male acceptance.

You know those movies about those little nerd boys who get with really hot girls, and those girls eventually learn to settle for a little nerd boy because he’s kinda nice sometimes? Propaganda.

[castlesbyrs]

You know those movies and shows where the little nerd girl has to change absolutely every aspect that makes her, her, starting by her appearance, so she can get the really hot boy, while when it’s the other way around the girl just settles with the nerd boy? Propaganda.
