Maybe a cool part about a kid saying they wish you were dead is when you then pretend to die & they panic & then you laugh & laugh at them because what a liar.

“The future is a concept—it doesn’t exist There is no such thing as tomorrow There never will be because time is always now. That’s one of the things we discover when we stop talking to ourselves and stop thinking. We find there is only present, only an eternal now.”

-Alan Watts.

A transparent bubble you can read in! It’s a fancy reading place outdoor when you are at a park or any place in which it is very quiet: a human-size bubble-like pod that serves as a solemn shelter for savoring moments, and reading good books! A separate little world which practically changes whenever you travel to, this transparent sphere was invented by Swiss designers in Micasa LAB and called it Cocoon 1. The bubble can also be used indoors. (photos via design-milk.com)

I know that this isn’t particularly recent, but I just saw it today and it’s blowing my mind right now.

This is really cool

Pascal Flammer - House in Balsthal, 2011 (prev, 2) . The entire project, from the bathroom to the engineered structural members, are all made of pine. By sinking the ground floor slightly below grade, one is placed at eye level with the surrounding fields when in the living room, creating a unique relationship with the lanscape. A video tour of the house by the architect here. Via.

I want to write. I want to write like i have never written. I want to read. I want to read like i always have. I want to laugh. I want to laugh like i always did. I want to be happy. I want to be happy like it doesn’t go. But most of all i want to love. I want to love like i can forgive.

#7

You would always
sink into me.
Enter places, never invited
to go, but welcomed
every time.
A fine mix of confidence
and insecurities.
Defined, defines.

I could reach and take.
Eat of the fruit.
Lips tasting of truth.

But you are just a shadow.
A faded patch
on the fabric of my fantasies.
Get out. Get out. Get out.

“It was so much easier to be angry. Being angry made him feel strong, even though— and this contradiction did nothing to diminish his anger— he was angry only because his position was so weak.”
— Lev Grossman, The Magicians

This is why people feel angry most of the time.

She is unfairly high above me, in a

all I see is sunshine when I look up at

They say love dies between two people. That’s wrong. It doesn’t die. It doesn’t leave you or go away. There is always that part of you that will keep loving. No matter how far you go or how many times you love again. You never love each person the same way and if its love that you felt at one point then a part of you- no matter how small will keep feeling that way. And you won’t realize it when your relationship is over. You realize it when you move to a better place. And you will be happy, for you were honest in the relationship. Somewhere,you still love that person even if its not the same,even if you don’t want them the same way. And that is what cures the heartbreak. Knowing that it was real-which made it worth it.

“I love the performance of a craft, whether it is modest or mean-spirited, yet I walk away when discussions of it begin - as if one should ask a gravedigger what brand of shovel he uses or whether he prefers to work at noon or in moonlight. I am interested only in the care taken, and those secret rehearsals behind it. Even if I do not understand fully what is taking place. “
