A Lot Of Things Aren’t Ok But Everything Will Be

“I have a list in my head of all the feelings I still want to feel before I die. And you have ticked so many things off that list.”

— Iain Thomas (via quotemadness)

Opal and glass gold-mounted pendant by René Lalique, c. 1900.

“I do exist, don’t I? It often feels as if I’m not here, that I’m a figment of my own imagination. There are days when I feel so lightly connected to the earth that the threads that tether me to the planet are gossamer thin, spun sugar. A strong gust of wind could dislodge me completely, and I’d lift off and blow away, like one of those seeds in a dandelion clock.”

— Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine (Gail Honeyman)

Golden Touch by Clayshaper

— inspired by Hugues Merle’s Mary Magdalene in the Cave (1868)
