I am a sad wet cat

this makes me so happy

If I didn’t remember actually reading this in an actual Calvin and Hobbes book as a child I’d think it was ironically photoshopped like those comics where Mickey Mouse and Goofy talk about how reality is an illusion but this comic strip was actually just……. already………… like that……………

Being able to find someone you click with so naturally is the best feeling ever. You feel like you’ve been best friends you’re whole life, it feels like you’re coming home. You’re so comfortable with them. Maybe that’s what a soulmate is. Not someone who shares every single thing in common with you, but someone who feels like home.

in·tro·vert noun /a shy, reticent person./

not to be fake deep but admitting you fucked up and saying you’re sorry is 100000000x more rewarding than defending flawed views or thoughtless if unintentionally so actions, 10/10 would recommend, it’s not losing face it’s earning respect

hope your pets stay healthy in 2017

I almost didn’t blog this and felt guilty

my talent is coming off warm and inviting and open but still remaining a fairly closed off person

i don’t think people understand the overwhelming difficulty of becoming a refugee: 

1. you give away everything. your past life is gone. you sell it all to pay for your paperwork. 

2. sometimes you have to travel, sometimes a thousand miles, to find a checkpoint to register as a refugee. the journey is not easy, sometimes it is over water, sometimes at the hands of a smuggler who does not care if you or your children die. sometimes they do. sometimes your family is gone before you reach the checkpoint. 

3. the wait. you wait years, sometimes just 2 if you’re lucky, sometimes 6 if you’re not. you spend this wait in camps, in buildings that are unsafe, your children have nothing and you can’t do anything about it. there’s no room for success. you sit in despair for what seems like forever. 

and then to finally be taunted with a sliver of hope–a possible home–and then to be denied at the gates of American airports, i don’t know if there is anything worse. It is not beneath the U.S. to do this. They have turned away Jewish refugees at their borders, sent them back to face their death. History is possibly repeated today.

Turnover | Humming

Carelessly you pass the hours, humming songs you heard when you were young … Show me why you’re always smiling, laugh again and make me fall in love

Just Like the First Time.
