A few lovely things for today, when I’m feeling grateful for new adventures, and even more grateful for old friends.

Came across some of Warsan Shire’s poetry last week, and immediately spent the next four hours reading everything I could find, and then ordering her book on Amazon.
I have a crush on her, for real. Like, it’s a problem.
Excerpt:
“you can’t make homes out of human beings
someone should have already told you that
and if he wants to leave
then let him leave
you are terrifying
and strange and beautiful
something not everyone knows how to love.”
― Warsan Shire
A few lovely things for a rainy day spent back in California, hunkered down under the covers and eating pomegranates like it’s my job.
A few lovely things for today, because I’m procrastinating and because job hunting is the absolute worst.

“Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been any different. “-Unknown
“… You sit by and watch your constitution being torn away from you, willfully eat poisoned food, buy manufactured products no one needs and turn an uncaring eye away from millions suffering and dying all around you. Perhaps I should let you in on a secret… No one likes you in the future. This time period is looked at as being full of lazy, self centered, civically ignorant sheep.”– John Titor (time traveler from the 2030’s)
