"This is dedicated to the beautiful tapestry of immigrant families who make this country really special. May you one day not have to audition for the empathy that should be freely given by this country that benefits from your beauty. To the queer and trans communities that always will exist, no matter what people in power try to take away from them. To the people of Palestine who deserve to live a free life – a full life – without occupation. ... If there's one thing we can learn from vampires, it's that life is short, but that's its gift. Find beauty in the ephemeral and gratitude in what is not promised."
—Ali Louis Bourzgui, winning Featured Actor in a Musical for The Lost Boys

btw u need to sit under the sun and be with friends and let love in and try new foods and remember old memories that make u laugh and stay up till 3 am with the love of your life
Underrated life advice: Schedule your fun first. The vacation. The dinner. The concert. The weekend trip. Put joy on the calendar before work fills it up.

One thing nobody tells you about adulthood is how fun it is to become your own person. One day you randomly start liking jazz, olive green, expensive dark chocolate, documentaries about volcanoes, weird lamps, sparkling water, books about loneliness in Tokyo, silver jewelry and quiet cafés. Your personality keeps unfolding forever if you let it.
#Survivor50 is so frustrating. So many production decisions are maddening, but then it will capture some genuinely beautiful moments, like Devens taking his final chance to look up at the Fijian stars #Survivor
You’re standing on a planet with molten lava at its core. Trees are turning sunlight into air you can breathe. Your heart is beating without you asking it to. There’s a moon in the sky and bugs that glow. This whole thing is absurdly beautiful. Don’t forget to notice it.
