I Don’t Want to Live a Small Life

by Mary Oliver

I don’t want to live a small life. Open your eyes, open your hands. I have just come from the berry fields, the sun kissing me with its golden mouth all the way (open your hands) and the wind-winged clouds following along thinking perhaps I might feed them, but no I carry these heart-shapes only to you. Look how many small but so sweet and maybe the last gift I will bring to anyone in this world of hope and risk, so do Look at me. Open your life, open your hands.

You guys are never gonna fucking believe what it’s actually called

They can try, and spend absurd amounts of money, and they might even make absurd amounts of money back, but we all know the real metric of cultural relevance.

Friedrich Nietzsche, from a letter featured in The Selected Letters of Friedrich Nietzsche

There is something so lonely about having found family as your favorite\comfort trope. Like absolutely, I love that these characters found each other and that they are happy in their group. But there is also that lonely child deep in my soul that wishes that it was me. The piece of me that yearns for what they have, for a family outside of blood that loves you unconditionally and you can get up to shenanigans with. Every time I read about it as a kid, I was so jealous, because as much as you can read about it, you can never live it. You can never take the place of these characters that have a group of people that they can depend on and that love them. That was something I always wanted. Still, there is something so lonely and childish about longing to be apart of something like that. I spent my childhood years consuming media with the 'found family' to fill that lonely void within me.

Now here I am, all these years later, still consuming media with 'found family' to appease that lonely little girl inside of me who told herself stories just to fall asleep at night.

i need a frankenstein adaptation where frankenstein is played by an actual nineteen year old. all the adaptations imagine him as this grizzled thirty/forty-something man and he quite simply is not. that is a bedraggled wet cat of a university student with more money than sense, fuelled entirely by coffee and delusion

I never like it when adaptations don't portray Victor Frankenstein as a college student. I think there's a very particular type of mental state that you can only get from being a sleep-deprived, overworked college student that makes Frankenstein make sense. Grave-robbing? Stitching together a giant monster? Performing questionable experiments? Avoiding his problems by constantly fainting? Yeah, I probably did some stuff like that last semester, I don't remember

someone said taylor never progressed past "she wears short skirts, i wear t shirts" and it's like tell you me the last time you listened to taylor swift was 17 years ago without telling me.

this website lets you listen to the sounds of all different forests around the world 

Reblogging again cause I tried this site last night and if you need background noise to focus this is perfect for that, I was locked the fuck in on a task. And it’s also just gorgeous to listen to

It’s beautiful

Love this!

My therapist, who specializes in adults with ADHD, recently told me that all of her clients need a three day crashout period after a big life change. Finish the semester? Crashout. Change jobs? Crashout. Go on a really cool, really relaxing vacation? Crashout the moment you get home.

It's true of literally all of her clients. She works with a lot of them to put systems in place so that their crashouts are only three days. This includes the high-powered execs who travel regularly for work. It does not matter how successful or high functioning they are - they have ADHD, and a crashout is just part of the process of living with it.

I'm sharing this with all you ADHD friends out there, just in case you (like me) start shaming yourself if your crashout lasts more than one day. It turns out three days is kind of the best case scenario. Be kind to yourselves!
