Nobody will protect you from your suffering. You can’t cry it away or eat it away or starve it away or walk it away or punch it away or even therapy it away. It’s just there, and you have to survive it. You have to endure it. You have to live through it and love it and move on and be better for it and run as far as you can in the direction of your best and happiest dreams across the bridge that was built by your own desire to heal.

Cheryl Strayed, Tiny Beautiful Things (via wordsnquotes)

Summary: Emperor Kaito and Linh Cinder try to escape their suffocating royal life while attempting to go on their first date. For valedn.

The rest of the items were things from her time with Adri, Pearl, and Peony. Most of it was tools, but there was a picture of her with the family. Cinder scowled at it.

“I was so… lanky,” she said. “And that hair. Ugh. Why did I ever think it looked good.”

The last piece was… an empty pedestal. A news clip flickered to life when she pressed the button on the pedestal. It was of that fateful night — the ball from three years ago. She winced at how pathetic she looked…

Book Nerd Problems: Being Friends with a Speed Reader

[valedn]

Here’s the orbital period of our solar system’s 8 major planets (how long it takes each to travel around the sun). Their size is to scale and their speed is accurate relative to Earth’s. The repetition of each GIF is proportional to their orbital period. Mercury takes less than 3 months to zoom around Sol, Neptune takes nearly 165 years.
