“Lord Byron gets up at two. I get up, quite contrary to my usual custom … at 12. After breakfast we sit talking till six. From six to eight we gallop through the pine forest which divide Ravenna from the sea; we then come home and dine, and sit up gossiping till six in the morning. I don’t suppose this will kill me in a week or fortnight, but I shall not try it longer. Lord B.’s establishment consists, besides servants, of ten horses, eight enormous dogs, three monkeys, five cats, an eagle, a crow, and a falcon; and all these, except the horses, walk about the house, which every now and then resounds with their unarbitrated quarrels, as if they were the masters of it… . [P.S.] I find that my enumeration of the animals in this Circean Palace was defective … . I have just met on the grand staircase five peacocks, two guinea hens, and an Egyptian crane. I wonder who all these animals were before they were changed into these shapes.”

— Percy Bysshe Shelley on the lifestyle of Lord Byron (via timemarauder)

whenever i'm trying to talk myself out of buying something i don't need i always hear my old russian professor's voice echoing in my head: "WHAT??? WILL YOU DIE THE RICHEST MAN IN THE GRAVEYARD?" and then i make an unwise financial decision

truly just learn the phrase "I did not like this" instead of trying to give some moral or ethical reasoning behind why it's actually evil and morally wrong and problematic. you are allowed to just not like things because they're not good in your personal opinion, they don't have to be problematic you can just not like them

MADS WHY ARE YOU HAVING WAR FLASHBACKS

children bother me for sensory reasons and so do adults. it should NEVER be a reason to complain about and try to exile children from public spaces. children deserve rights and spaces and love and respect just like the rest of us, as do those adults who are socially ostracised. they are a part of the world too.

sensory issues, though not anybody's fault and not controllable, are our responsibilities. when i become overwhelmed with the children in any space, i take some time out – i go to the bathroom, i step outside, maybe i leave early, whatever i need to do. i have earplugs, headphones, ear defenders. sometimes i will have a meltdown or shutdown anyway and that’s just an inevitability of life: that i exist in the world and that the world is full of noise and movement. (to touch on what you said, i am not the main character! the world is bigger than me!) we cannot demand that some people do not share in those spaces because of our issues. the world is for all of us

In the end, if children bother you for sensory reasons and that's why you don't want them to be in the same public spaces as you, there are disabled adults who can and would cause the same sensory issues for you. Adults who are loud, who vocally stim, who have poor boundaries, poor hygiene, who cry in public, etc etc etc. And they're already socially ostracized for all of this.

So actually yeah, it's the bare minimum you can do for the group with the least human rights on the planet to figure out how to accept children as part of your public community without hating them for it, even if you are child-free yourself.

man this year is gonna be the year i either die or become someone else i dont know which one maybe both

it’s okay if you can’t go from 0 to 100 on chasing your dreams or just a healthier life overnight. it rarely ever happens that way. it’s okay if you need a few days or even weeks to mentally prepare yourself for this change you’re about to make. get up in the morning, do your best, and give yourself room to breathe. 

girl you don't have to. i get it

i cant stop thinking of the gif of the kiwi jumping around its so funny the way that thing moves like gravity doesn’t care about it it just prances wildly and freely it falls over but it doesn’t care it just keeps moving and having fun and just keeps hopping and the party never stops it’s legitimately one of my favorite pieces of media on the internet the joy it brings me is unbridled
