If you ask me how corny my boyfriend and I are... he's at the gym, but we wanna stay on the phone, so I am rapping his favorite songs to him. I am his playlist. Me and the Apple Music lyrics tab.
Sonder. That’s the name of this feeling. That feeling when you suddenly realise that every stranger you see has a life as complete and complex as yours.
I had to delete this app bc I didn’t have enough space and I wanted to take more pictures and I refuse to pay for extra storage but I’m back bc Facebook was so scary
My boyfriend just looked at a picture of Dua Lipa and said “wait I thought I knew her, I met someone that looked like her on tinder a long time ago” please reply with ur opinion
For 2 years I watched a borderlands black bear cub grow up on 4 of my remote wildlife cameras. I named the cub Monsoon after watching videos of it relishing swims in monsoon pools.
Monsoon is now roaming solo. The borderlands are wild and wonderful.
Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture.
The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.
But no.
Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die.
You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.
A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery.
Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said."
We are at our best when we serve others.
Be civilized.
