“Promise me not to hide yourself when you’re in pain, it’s unfair that we laughed together but you cried alone”

— Unknown

Naruto’s voice actress singing Naruto Shippuden’s 2nd opening. Found this and cried.

These stunning watercolors recently came across our desk, and we just had to share them.

They are bound into our copy of Elisha Kane's "The US Grinnell Expedition in Search of Sir John Franklin," published in 1854, which chronicles the First Grinnell Expedition to determine the fate of Franklin's journey into the Northwest Passage in 1845.

Both of Franklin's ships became icebound, and none aboard survived. The shipwrecks were found in 2014 and 2016.

“Saturday, November 30. Beautiful day! An accumulated lack of sleep caused me to pass out as soon as I got home yesterday, causing me to wake up this early. It’s cold. My body is craving salt. Feel like a bowl of miso soup. But… I’d better finish that bread I got two days ago. Miso soup or bread. Gotta pick one, since they don’t go together. Or do they? Maybe I can make miso soup… that goes with bread.” — Kitchen for Singles, Episode 3: Soy Milk Miso Soup in the Morning

One of the prettiest moments in winter is when the sun starts to come out again in like february/march but it’s still cold but that doesn’t matter because everything feels light and fresh and you walk outside without freezing because the sunshine is warming your face and everything is starting to wake up

Public Speaking Masterpost

I’m horrible at making thumbnails lol

As I personally am HORRIFIED of public speaking/presenting, I decided I would scour both the entire public speaking and presenting tag, to find as many useful posts as possible, as compile them all into one big post, so I can come back to this whenever I need to give a presentation

I’ve added a little star (*) to my favourite posts in the list. Although all are useful, these are the once I use the most and come back to often to re-read.
