Toxins.
Remember something important: No one outside of a situation knows what it’s like to be in it. Remember something more important: That fact does not justify holding on to someone who is toxic to you.
We’ve all been there- the boy who finally made himself vulnerable, the girlfriend who had one too many coke binges but she’s just SO fun, the Dad that never calls, except when he...
My favorite excerpt of Shakespeare, and my...
Build me a willow cabin at your gate, and call upon my soul within the house;
Write loyal cantons of contemned love and sing them loud even in the dead of night;
Halloo your name to the reverberate hills and make the babbling gossip of the air Cry out
‘Olivia’ O, you should not rest between the elements of air and earth,
But you should pity me.
Viola, Twelfth Night
Perfection.

robeandslippersgirls:
A dear twitter friend, fellow Avicii lover and adorer of art, The Wandering Aesthete sounds off on what she finds to be the most acceptable and non-acceptable activities of your undergraduate experience.
Actually sit in the front row in class, but only if you have prepared. If you…
thejetsetgirl asked: Good evening darling- and by good, I mean it, for it's friday! I'd love to be out dancing at the moment, but I'm on a plane of course. Dancing is second only, to planes. What was I saying? Oh, I cannot for the life of me remember, but are you an art major? If I'm wrong you can disregard this.. but, I've fallen in love with a painting. I adore Andre Kohn, & his Vintage...

you shall above all things be glad and young
For if you're young,whatever life you wear
it will become you;and if you are glad
whatever's living will yourself become.
Girlboys may nothing more than boygirls need:
i can entirely her only love
whose any mystery makes every man's
flesh put space on;and his mind take off time
that you should ever think,may god forbid

PHILO⋄SOFIA: ★ HAPPY NEW YEAR! ★ →
philo-sofia:
“Heaven preserve me from littleness and pleasantness and smoothness. Give me great glaring vices, and great glaring virtues, but preserve me from the neat little neutral ambiguities. Be wicked, be brave, be drunk, be reckless, be dissolute, be despotic, be a suffragette, be anything you like, but…
New Years Resolutions, for my readers...
All cards on the table, I do my New Years Resolutions in November. It’s just one of my weird ‘me’ things so let’s not dwell. But yes, they are going swimmingly, thank you.
So this year I’m doing something fun (for me). I’m making resolutions for all of you. These are some just some things that I think of, that I mention on my twitter, or that I see happening...

“Good is towing the line, being behaved, being quiet, being passive, fitting in, being liked, and great is being messy, having a belly, speaking your mind, standing up for what you believe in, fighting for another paradigm, not letting people talk you out of what you know to be true.”
Eve Ensler
The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, T.S. Eliot...
Let us go then, you and I, When the evening is spread out against the sky Like a patient etherized upon a table; Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets, The muttering retreats Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells: Streets that follow like a tedius argument Of insidious intent To lead you to an overwhelming question… Oh, do not ask,...

“Quarrels would not last long if the fault was only on one side”

Dancing with the DJ, The Knocks.
A mere request
A friend pointed out that I have the gift of removal. That I have the ability to separate myself from a situation, to understand the motivations of others, as something distinct from the effect it has on me. I had never thought of this as a gift, but rather a curse. For if you can understand why someone does the things they do, it is very hard to fault them for it.
I had no idea how rare this...

“Fairest and best adorned is she whose clothing is humility”
James Montgomery
The most wonderful time of the year, or is it?
The holidays can be lovely. White snow falling gracefully. A perpetual smell of cookies baking. Champagne is encouraged all hours of the day.
Then there is what the holidays are really like. Running around trying to find the perfect gift for the person you hadn’t really wanted to get a gift for. Decorating a tree alone, like a few of my RSGs did, or being left out of the celebration, like...

Not so blind support.
Hopefully none of my university friends are reading this because if they are, they’ll know me at once. Hmm, no matter.
I am often chided even mocked for something my friends and I refer to as ‘Blind support’.
Blind support (verb): An act of friendship where one party wholly and an unswervingly defends the other.
Perhaps you need an example?

The Long Love, Sir Thomas Wyatt
The long love that in my thought doth harbour, And in mine heart doth keep his residence, Into my face presseth with bold pretence, And therein campeth, spreading his banner. She that me learneth to love and suffer, And wills that my trust and lust’s negligence Be reined by reason, shame, and reverence, With his hardiness taketh displeasure. Wherewithal, unto the heart’s forest...
