slowly the gentle creature roams

carries the stars upon its hide

watch the wandering bovine home

and maybe even walk beside

the stars and moon dance happily

a river in the inky blue

silhouettes on the tapestry

i pray that i can join them too

the world isn’t so bad. it has you in it, after all.

i need it

#besties i am starting to think the human skeletal system might just be trash (via @cicerfics)

you are not wrong bestie

The human body is actually a marvel. It is just that our bodies are meant to move (not exercise, just lots of different movements throughout the day). Here is a video of the Hadzabe, one of the last hunter-gatherer tribes alive (when I was studying biomechanics I used to watch hours of these videos). They sprint, squat, walk, well into their 70s without any pain.

I know we can't change our professions, so if you are dealing with neck pain, carpel tunnel syndrome etc, please try to maximise your recovery by eating and sleeping well, and if you can, try visit a physiotherapist or check out physio-pedia.com My best general health advice is: get barefoot shoes, and walk on uneven terrain once or twice per week. Without getting too much into detail: the feet have evolved over millions of years to adapt to the terrain we walk on to provide stability. There are many bones in the feet allowing them to become many different shapes. These shapes affect the kinetic chain above the feet (ankle, lower/upper leg, hips, lower/mid/upper back, neck). All these structures try to organize themselves to keep you in balance and move you forward, a beautiful interplay between your body and gravity. Due to the uneven terrain, your body will take on many different shapes which keeps your body healthy. With narrow shoes you will limit some crucial movements/shapes your feet should be able to make, so something else will have to compensate to make up for that movement option your feet are lacking. Often times, you will get lower back pain. I used to get it all the time when walking in Timberlands or Nike court shoes. Anyway, barefoot shoes are not the most trendy, far from it, but they are bringing out better and better designs each year. Remember, start with once or twice per week 30 minutes, uneven terrain (start soft, grass, forest, meadow), relax your entire body, feel your weight transition fully on your feet as you walk, let your arms swing naturally, let gravity help you.

The symbolism of flowers

Flowers have a long history of symbolism that you can incorporate into your writing to give subtext.

Symbolism varies between cultures and customs, and these particular examples come from Victorian Era Britain. You'll find examples of this symbolism in many well-known novels of the era!

Always loved flower language

sometimes i just wanna be one of those renaissance girls from the paintings with all my friends and our titties are out and we’re in the water and its summer and if my friend kisses me, she kisses me you know? no big deal! we could have a wedding right here in this lake with our titties out girl, i love you 

I’m sorry I made the site crash with my big tits hitting the keyboard

"hey babe I'm sending you something horrible" is a love language

Been a bit distracted with this years bottle lambs. So far we have Sam, Merry, and Pippin 🐏🐏🐑

you know one of my favorite things about humanity? the way people pick up on each other’s habits and ways of speaking. i see it in every facet of my own life and it never ceases to make me feel overwhelmingly fond

it’s in the way that my dad has started to look at me every time something crazy or funny happens in whatever we’re watching because i always do the very same thing to gauge his reaction or share that moment with him

and the way i’ve caught my own giggles becoming more and more hysterical  sounding in an unintentional mimic of one of my favorite streamers, the way i’ve begun to go “whAT” in a similar way to them

and how my dear friends have begun to pepper in ‘<33′ and ‘0:’ into our daily conversations after i’ve been doing so for a long time

and with each text i end in ‘xx’, a habit picked up from an ex of mine

we absorb bits and pieces of the world around us into ourselves without ever even realizing or trying to and i find that to be very beautiful and wholesome. we are the best parts of our favorite things (:

Wow.. she has such a way with worms…

bro oh my god … vanilla extract

vanilla extract smells wonderful but tastes horrific on its own. but mixed with sugar and flour and cream it tastes just like it smells. we need the support of others to reach our full potential

no man is an island everyone is vanilla extract

sometimes u just can’t stand in kfc

fight the man

Idk the story on this but remember invisible illnesses exist! Some people may look okay on the outside, but are actually in a lot of pain!

yea i was actually just really hungover

[id: meme of 2 people shaking hands in alliance. one person’s arm is labelled “disabled people,” other is “people who are actually just really hungover.” where their hands connect, there is a pic (from op’s post) of a person sitting in a chair while waiting in line at kfc. /end id]
