You know, you are not as weird as you think

Also, you are not as sophisticated

But if you can make someone happy

It doesn't matter

I know the wounds don't fade as quickly as you wished but someone will love you regardless

If you feel unable to open up wait till you meet that person

You will be ok

Brush your teeth every morning while you try to step on her toes

I know the bitterness still echoes and you are unable to hide it

Remember that you can forgive them and still hold them accountable

Watch her breathe silently

Watch her shadow touch the walls of your room

Sometimes you have to get outside of your head to leave room for healthier thoughts

It will take time to understand yourself

But if people feel loved around you then one day you will love yourself as well

Hold on to the carelessness for a little longer

Let novelty linger for a while

Don't let them take it away from you

Ask stupid questions

Cry to cliche romantic movies

Don't take yourself too seriously

Outsmart the paradox of the human condition

I wish you could see your eyes when you spoke your truth

Enjoy the time you spend alone

You will be your only friend sometimes

Explore ideas and ridicule the concept of our finite existence

Pause,

And listen to the sounds around you

Stay still,

And observe the colors making patterns

This world has a certain rhyme beneath the chaos

This absurd little planet has room even for you

It was here before you

And it will continue to orbit the sun long after you are gone

And trust me, It's beautiful.

I do counted cross stitch, so I think that this building in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is amazing.  The creator’s name is Raquel Rodrigo, an artist, and designer from Valencia, Spain.

It looks like graffiti from a distance, but close up, you can see that it’s actually a cross-stitch pattern affixed to this Philadelphia Naval Yard property building.

Take a look at the detail here. It must’ve taken such a long time to achieve this stunning final effect. She covered it with wire mesh like a giant cross stitch canvas.

What a brilliant idea. 

According to the artist, she wanted to bring feminine art that has dressed homes around the world to the street. However, her idea was to use a cross-stitch pattern to do so instead of graffiti.

She now travels around the world, beautifying buildings and making various street art.

She prepares her detailed designs in advance. Then she unrolls them at the chosen location. Her desire is to bring a dash of color and creativity to the surrounding area. I wonder how long it holds up in the weather. I can’t even see where they attached the mesh. So pretty.

me explaining that eyebags are sexy not in a basic way but in a subversive opposing the beauty standards and simultaneously conforming to an edward cullen-esque vampire editorial and angelina jolie in girl interrupted kind of way

l'appel du vide

literally "the call of the void", is a French phrase used to refer to intellectual thoughts or the urge to engage in a self-destructive behavior during everyday life. Most commonly reported examples include thinking about swerving into oncoming traffic while driving, or feeling the urge to jump off the edge of a cliff while overlooking from one.
