There’s a common tragedy that occurs every time we silence that inner voice that tells us,

“Don’t settle for this. I promise, even though you won’t believe me right now, that there will come a day when it will make sense and feel like home again. If you want to stay, you can. But protect yourself while you stay here.”

Part of growing up is understanding that you can walk away and not feel like you’re making a colossal mistake because you know yourself. At least, you hope you do.

A lot of us will stay because we need the experience. We’re curious. We want to hope. We’re tragically flawed to want it all without measuring the cost.

Some of us are just killing time. Waiting for that thing. Whatever we were sold to look for and believe in.

But I’ll stay because I’m grateful for every single moment. Every glance. Every rushed story. Every apology. Every front that gets put on. Every single tiny tragedy. I’m sad but I’m happy.

Tragic and timeless.

The World’s Most Beautiful Libraries

“Without libraries what have we? We have no past and no future.” -Ray Bradbury

For centuries, books have housed the collective knowledge of the world and formed the foundations of educational institutions. Given that these objects contain such value, it only makes sense that throughout history people have constructed beautiful buildings to house them.

We put together a list of some of the most beautiful libraries as captured by Instagrammers around the world. For more photos from these architectural wonders, check out their linked location pages below.

Stuttgart City Library, Stuttgart, Germany

Trinity College Library, Dublin, Ireland

Library of Alexandria, Alexandria, Egypt

Real Gabinete Português de Leitura, Rio de Janiero, Brazil

The Royal Danish Library, Copenhagen, Denmark

George Peabody Library, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD

Kanazawa Umimirai Library, Kanazawa City, Japan

New York Public Library, New York City, NY

The first photo reminds me of M.C. Escher

Part two of 'Life of Pi' is just breaking my heart. I was wrapped up in this beautiful cocoon of love for the deepest and truest forms of inquiry of the world and this unfolding bilsdungroman of sorts and now I'm just as scared as Pi.

ambedo n. a kind of melacholic trance in which you become completely absorbed in vivid sensory details—raindrops skittering down a window, tall trees leaning in the wind, clouds of cream swirling in your coffee—which leads to a dawning awareness of the haunting fragility of life

“[The world
is still not real;
time wonders:
all that is certain
is the heat of your skin.]
In your breath I hear
the tide of being,
the forgotten syllable of the Beginning.”

- Octavio Paz, from “Before the Beginning”, translated by Eliot Weinberger (via the-final-sentence)

“…For evil in the open is but evil from within that has been let out. The main battlefield for good is not the open ground of the public arena but the small clearing of the heart…””

electricalgloom:

“Starting on my birthday, I sewed one word every day for a year to make this big cross-stitch. It’s a sort of personal diary where I picked each word based on what happened to me that day, what I’d seen or been working on, or simply because a particular word cropped up many times throughout the day.”

Every night I pray that you can see the stars above you.

Every day I hope that you see the paths laid around you

(the everchanging labyrinth of life)

you hear the sounds of life carrying on

the sun warms your skin and blesses you

moves your feet forward when you find the next step is much too difficult to take

that you struggle some days

but that you learn every lesson you need to learn to get you to that day when the questions that used to haunt you and keep you awake at night

the ones the destroyed your most precious bonds

and sent you flying off the cliff

those questions have already faded away and the answer will come to you

they always do

and the answer will greet you

and you’ll feel overwhelming peace

and you’ll know

someone never stopped wishing the best for you.

man-of-prose:

“Scott – there’s nothing in all the world I want but you – and your precious love – All the material things are nothing. I’d just hate to live a sordid, colorless existence – because you’d soon love me less – and less – and I’d do anything — anything — to keep your heart for my own – I don’t want to live – I want to love first, and live incidentally – Why don’t you feel that I’m waiting – I’ll come to you, Lover, when you’re ready — Don’t don’t ever think of the things you can’t give me — You’ve trusted me with the dearest heart of all — and it’s so damn much more than anybody else in all the world has ever had.”

-Zelda Fitzgerald to Scott Fitzgerald

because I’ve posted Scott’s love to Zelda, it only makes sense to post Zelda to Scott.
