You.

Yes, you. On the other side of the screen.

Congratulations.

You made it this far. You made it all the way through 2015.

You’ve been through lots of shit, and lots of awesomeness.

You’ve changed, you’ve grown.

You tried new things, you saw a lot.

You were sad, you were happy. 

You were worried then carefree, stressed then relieved.

You could have gotten married to someone very special.

Or made a friend that now means the world to you.

Or gotten a promotion in your work. Or finished college/high school.

You might have changed someone’s life for good, and you don’t even know.

Anyway it is, or was, I’m proud of you.

Next year will be a better year. I believe in you.

My favorite Harry Potter character was the Sorting Hat. His job was to learn people’s secrets and then judge them.

*adds ‘haha’ at the end of my completely non-funny text message to ensure that the recipient knows i’m a lighthearted, nice person who knows how to have a good time*

it won’t be like what you imagined. maybe you get the road trip to the beach with coffee in your hand and the radio playing, maybe you don’t. but happy shows up. it’s in a 2 AM game of jenga with your new college friends. it’s curling up for another marathon of netflix. it’s meeting the person who will be your best man at the wedding. it’s 4:45pm in the library when the girl in the study coral across from you quietly whispers “i’m going to set everything on fire” and then turns to you and asks if you wanna take a break for dinner (say yes, she’s very nice and you both need a moment away from the stress). it’s the mornings they have omelettes and in good books and in a puddle that looks cool. it’s sometimes picturesque, but more often it’s full-belly laughter at stupid things on the floor of your friend’s house while in the background someone is debating the best way to win settlers of catan. 

i know it gets dark early now and the tired is setting in and everything sort of feels blank and hazy and you want to spend ages staring at walls thinking of nothing

but happiness will find a way in. it will be small moments. look for them.

#it took nearly 15 years for him to finally know what a mother’s embrace feels like #and i’m still emotional about it #my sweet sweet child #i’m not crying you’re crying ಥ_ಥ

Leighton House was the London home, studio and 30 year long project of the Victorian artist, Frederic, Lord Leighton (1830-96). Designed by the architect and designer George Aitchison initially in 1864, the project was completed in stages and took on  a relatively organic process as the two friends Aitchison and Leighton worked together. The house ultimately served as both Lord Leighton’s studio and own, personal gallery and reception, where even Queen Victoria visited in 1859. It is one of the very few Victorian artist’s house studios open to the public within the UK.

Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of Leighton House is Lord Leighton’s collection of over a thousand beautiful, Islamic tiles decorating the interior walls and giving the house its notable Orientalist aesthetic. In particular, The Arab Hall, where Lord Leighton’s collection of highly decorative polychrome tiles, mostly from Damascus in Syria dating from the 15th to 17th century as well as 19th-century tiles made by William de Morgan are, is perhaps the building’s main focus.
