cat at the window (by * Patrícia *)
Let's run through the medow and never look back
good morning to the sunlight hitting my desk and the sunlight hitting my desk only
in the words of my king, jack antonoff

“sometimes you read a book so special that you want to carry it around with you for months after you’ve finished just to stay near it.”

i love when you listen to a new song and you’re like three seconds in and you’re already like yes this pleases me it is mine

these 20’s really aint roaring man
society starting going downhill when they removed the cd drives from laptops
there is a tendency with history, i think, because we're so far removed from it, to kind of forget that all of the people were people
a child 10,000 years ago left a handprint on a wall. they were fingerpainting. a viking climbs up a rock just to carve the words "this is very high" 10ft off the ground. somebody centuries... milennia... ago burned their dinner so thoroughly that they buried the ruined pot in the backyard rather than attempt to clean it. shakespeare got drunk and wrote dick jokes. tutankhamun was a little boy who liked ducks more than anything. a roman carves his name into a monument in another country saying "i was here". a prisoner, centuries ago, in the tower of london scratches lines into the wall as a tally marking the days. a medieval monk scrawls in the margins bemoaning the boredom of his work.
every human being across history has said "i was here. i lived. i loved. i made something. i laughed. i cried. please do not forget me"
