i haven’t written
much these days
i’m too caught up
in my head
chasing the thought
of you

eventually
i’ll tire out
but for now
the pool of possibility
quenches my thirst
which unlike you
is oh so real

“I’m never gonna wait
that extra twenty minutes
to text you back,
and I’m never gonna play
hard to get
when I know your life
has been hard enough already.
When we all know everyone’s life
has been hard enough already
it’s hard to watch
the game we make of love,
like everyone’s playing checkers
with their scars,
saying checkmate
whenever they get out
without a broken heart.
Just to be clear
I don’t want to get out
without a broken heart.
I intend to leave this life
so shattered
there’s gonna have to be
a thousand separate heavens
for all of my flying parts.”

- Andrea Gibson

Why I love Recess, especially Miss Grotke

Images 1, 7, 8: she’s a feminist

Image 5: notice how she’s talking about endangered species and on the wall, there is a poster of Earth Day

Image 6: she’s aware of and against white supremacy and eurocentrism

Images 2, 3, 4, 6: history teachers are technically not allowed to give their opinion they’re just supposed to teach what’s in the books, but she doesn’t care and makes sure her students know it

Black and white version here [x]

"If you don’t understand mental illness, good. Good for you. You shouldn’t have to understand. If..."

Thu, 16 May 2013 03:01:22 -0500

“If you don’t understand mental illness, good. Good for you. You shouldn’t have to understand.

If you don’t understand why some people can’t get out of bed in the morning, good. I hope you jump out of your bed every day ready to take the world by storm.
If you don’t understand how someone could drag a blade across their skin, or bruise themselves, pick, probe, burn, then good. I hope you’re never that desperate to feel something.
If you don’t understand what would drive a girl to keep starving herself despite everything she’s lost in the process, good. I hope you stay heavy and present and real.
If you don’t understand what eating everything in your kitchen only to throw it all up solves, good. I hope you always remember that it solves nothing.
If you don’t understand why he won’t just go to rehab or church or find someone who can help him, good. I hope you always remember you have somewhere to turn.
If you don’t understand how she can put getting high above her own children, good. I hope you never fall in love with a substance that only kills you in return.
If you don’t understand how someone can keep swallowing bottles of pills, tying knots in ropes, or standing at the tops of bridges, good. I hope you’re never that desperate for relief.
If you don’t understand how people do it, good.
You’re not supposed to.
It’s all fucking sick.
It’s all fucking mental.

When you say your prayers tonight, thank God for ignorance.
It’s healthy.”

"Go after her. Fuck, don’t sit there and wait for her to call, go after her because that’s what you..."

Thu, 16 May 2013 02:59:46 -0500

“Go after her. Fuck, don’t sit there and wait for her to call, go after her because that’s what you should do if you love someone, don’t wait for them to give you a sign cause it might never come, don’t let people happen to you, don’t let me happen to you, or her, she’s not a fucking television show or tornado. There are people I might have loved had they gotten on the airplane or run down the street after me or called me up drunk at four in the morning because they need to tell me right now and because they cannot regret this and I always thought I’d be the only one doing crazy things for people who would never give enough of a fuck to do it back or to act like idiots or be entirely vulnerable and honest and making someone fall in love with you is easy and flying 3000 miles on four days notice because you can’t just sit there and do nothing and breathe into telephones is not everyone’s idea of love but it is the way I can recognize it because that is what I do. Go scream it and be with her in meaningful ways because that is beautiful and that is generous and that is what loving someone is, that is raw and that is unguarded, and that is all that is worth anything, really.”

- Harvey Milk (via t0nybasic)

Wed, 15 May 2013 08:54:21 -0500

I want to live simply. I want to sit by the window when it rains and read books I’ll never be tested on. I want to paint because I want to, not because I’ve got something to prove. I want to listen to my body, fall asleep when the moon is high and wake up slowly, with no place to rush off to. I want not to be governed by money or clocks or any of the artificial restraints that humanity imposes on itself. I just want to be, boundless and infinite.

sinandserotonin:

she took
breathing
for granted

until the water
rose from her feet
and past her head.

how precious
did air seem then—

when the ocean
kissed her pale lips.

it’s not like drowning.

more like a love affair.

Wed, 15 May 2013 08:53:15 -0500

“Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.”

- Ernest Hemingway (via nc-17)
