concept: it’s been raining for years. there are fish in the offices and whales in the streets, yet strangely the trees are still thriving. it’s very pretty but no one knows what to do, really

“Ask her what she craved, and she’d get a little frantic about things like books, the woods, music. Plants and the seasons. Also freedom.”

The single most toxic thing I was brought up believing is that being Adult and Responsible and Good starts with doing everything completely alone and without help

What it’s really about is learning where and when you need help, how much help you need, and knowing when to reach out and ask for the help you need to function at your ideal level

People were never meant to live alone

The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

Blessed to be the mini (now not so mini) of this wonderful laydeh right here @jessimalay I’m so lucky to be able to walk in the footsteps of someone so strong and true to herself. I’m so grateful to have someone that loves me and supports me so fully in everything I do. My love and admiration for you is endless. I hope you had a wonderful birthday and a beautiful year filled with happiness. Hauʻoli lā hānau from Hawaiʻi nei ♥️

We asked our students if they would go back to the old ways if they had the choice - but we all still have that choice.
