El Looking For Her Supersuit, Mike Freaking Out About His Dinner Plans.

Listen — are you breathing just a little and calling it a life?

Mary Oliver, Have You Ever Tried To Enter The Long Black Branches (via the-book-diaries)

There were days when she was very happy without knowing why. She was happy to be alive and breathing, when her whole being seemed to be one with the sunlight, the color, the odors, the luxuriant warmth of some perfect Southern day. She liked then to wander alone into strange and unfamiliar places. She discovered many a sunny, sleepy corner, fashioned to dream in. And she found it good to dream and to be alone and unmolested.There were days when she was unhappy, she did not know why—when it did not seem worth while to be glad or sorry, to be alive or dead; when life appeared to her like a grotesque pandemonium and humanity like worms struggling blindly toward inevitable annihilation

Kate Chopin, The Awakening (via the-book-diaries)

Stranger Things + audio description 1.06 = You saved me. Do you understand? You saved me.

Lying on the ground, Eleven stares tearfully at Mike, who crouches beside her. Dried blood under both nostrils, her lips quiver with emotion. Her mouth tightens, and Mike pulls her off the ground into a hug. As Mike and Eleven embrace, Dustin kneels down and wraps his arms around both of them. Eleven nuzzles her face against Mike’s shoulder and closes her eyes. Shaded by the towering rock wall, the three kids kneel beside the sunny edge of the quarry, holding each other close.

Are we all kind of collectively in our Regulus Black era right now, or have I just fallen down a very specific rabbit hole?

Fall in love with someone who feels like the warmth of the sun on a cold January morning, but soothes your heart like the cool waters of the sea on the hottest day of June.

Nikita Gill (via meanwhilepoetry)

I asked the universe to fall in love And the universe answered First I fell in love with the dirt beneath my feet Molding itself around each step I planted Then I fell in love with the growing seeds, brushing against my ankles Even the weeds didn’t hold me back, for I loved them too Next I loved the sea, crashing against my kneecaps with fury and grace With each cold wave I was reminded of the warmth in my breath After that I loved the air, pushing me forward And forcing my stubborn gaze upon a new horizon Finally I looked up, and loved the sunlight Shining on my skin, nourishing a glow no one else could replicate Soon after, I met you I remembered how wonderful it felt to love And thought, perhaps, it might feel just as good to love you I asked the universe to fall in love And the universe answered I saw your disgust at the mud paths I walked along As you criticized the thorns prodding my ankles When the sea crashed a little too hard, you did not attempt to lift me up But instead only showed your strength to pull me away from the wind’s current Then, I found that when I looked to the sky, the sun no longer shined the way it used to Instead it lay dark, covered by a single greedy cloud So I decided not to love you For as much as I loved to love And tried to love The universe answered And the answer was no

queen charlotte's i will stand with you between the heavens and the earth. i will tell you where you are destroyed me and i will never recover.

Nothing I’ve read has changed me more than “you do people a favor by accepting their help” like I repeat this constantly to so many people because it’s true!!! People like to feel useful, they like to feel kind, they like to feel like they have an ability to impact people’s lives so just let them!! Not everything is a thing to be owed back — accept people’s kindness without making a competition out of it
