Hey, friends with poor memory. This is a sign to go ahead and learn anything you want, even if you're afraid you're going to forget it all. Read Wikipedia articles, watch documentaries, take free classes, and delve deep into books and lore. Maybe I'm the only one who has this fear, maybe not. But learning for pleasure is just as much--if not moreso-- about the joy of the experience as it is about memorization.

You and I have begun to blur.
You know what people don’t talk about often enough? Playing catch up in life after spending your teens or early 20s suicidally depressed. There’s so many more layers than just being able to say “I don’t want to die anymore.”
The difficulty in academia or a career after spending years thinking you wouldn’t be alive long enough for any of it to matter.
The exhaustion that comes from self awareness and self soothing, with the constant voice in your head saying “don’t go backwards.”
How lonely it is to watch the people your age starting families when you’re just barely learning what stable relationships are, and the sudden societal pressure of being “up against a clock” for these kinds of things.
The judgement from others if you change your image or interests this late in the game just because you finally figured out who you really are under the demons.
Be kind to those who are developing and blooming after years of not planning on being here long. We are living a life we absolutely didn’t think we’d have, and it’s hard enough without society reminding us there’s expectations of our age.
We didn’t get to be young; we were too busy fighting battles few know.

If it keeps you from killing yourself it's not stupid. This applies to anything btw.

I think there's a heartbreaking beauty in not wanting to forget a certain person. Even if they are no longer with you, you want to carry them with you. You want to engrave every detail of them in your heart. You replay the person's voice in your head until it starts to fade away, and there is nothing you can do about it. It hurts to remember them, but it's worth it

That’s a hard question and depends on the week you ask but currently am obsessed with Shipworms (who live in mangroves and wood in marine environments so close enough to me), which are actually bivalves like clams and oysters and not “worms”…
Also love Conches, cetaceans, frogfish, stingrays, echinoderms in general..
Worms are so versitile symbolism-wise. They represent rot and decay, stagnating, nature and growth, they represent reading a lot and unconditional love, they even represent. Yuri

Nkondi figures are a Congolese tradition that resolves societal struggles. A figure, treated like any other member of the society with its own personality & living space, has a nail driven into it by the local spiritual expert/diviner in order to produce enough energy (or pain/sensation) to free the spirit from the figure for a time. This is done after relevant matter (things like dirt from a grave site, herbs with protective qualities, or blood) is placed into the compartment typically found in the figure's chest. Through this process, the figure's spirit engages with the unseen realm & ideally resolves the issue of interest. On the figure can be seen the village's history over the years in the form of sharp objects that have accumulated. In this image the Madonna & child has been treated as an Nkondi figure.

My Etsy shop is finally open!
Just dipping my toes in the water here, these will all just sit around if I don't do anything with them. Even if you can't buy anything a reblog would help a lot!
how terrifying metamorphosis must be for the caterpillar has no concept of what it is doing, or what a butterfly is, or what will happen to it as it spins itself the cocoon. we r more alike than different
worrying is like worshipping the problem
