I think Bigfoot is blurry, that’s the problem. It’s not the photographers’ fault. Bigfoot is blurry and that’s extra scary to me. There’s a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
“Here is a List of Things” from Welcome to Night Vale episode 2, Glow Cloud Illustrations by Lauren Ftagn
Men choose Hamlet because every man sees himself as a disinherited monarch. Women choose Alice [in Wonderland] because every woman sees herself as the only reasonable creature among crazy people who think they are disinherited monarchs.
There was a woman with starlight in her hair,
Who said goodbye to her son today.
He was as bright as the sun:
As dark as the void of the heavens above.
There was a mother with saplings growing from her nails,
Who said goodbye to life today.
She took to the water,
Kissing the waves goodbye
With each dip of her oars.
There was a father with water in his lungs,
Who said goodbye to his daughter today.
Who he taught to kick and claw-
To fight for life.
There was a boy,
Who died today.
He loved the stars, the planets,
Even the cold side of the moon.
There was a family
Who all died today.
From heartbreak and misfortune,
Comes the hardest lesson of all;
From what is born from you cannot be saved. (via starameter)
I should have been more kind. That is something a person will never regret. You will never say to yourself when you are old, ‘Ah, I wish I was not good to that person.’ You will never think that.
“Someone asked me what home was and all I could think of were the stars on the tip of your tongue, the flowers sprouting from your mouth, the roots entwined in the gaps between your fingers, the ocean echoing inside of your ribcage.”
— e.e. cummings
Don’t you dare, for one minute,
believe that my kindness makes me
anything but insurmountable.
I did not unzip my chest to every kind of hurt,
and stagger back, wounded and alive,
just to hear you call me weak for trying.
