"Imagine a city where graffiti and street art wasn’t illegal, a city where everybody could draw wherever they liked. Where every street was awash with a million colors and little phrases. Imagine a city like that and stop leaning against the wall - it’s wet."
My many expressions.
I’m contemplating creating a project where I paint my lips a different (vivid) color every week, take as many ridiculous photos of myself possible on Photobooth, and make a collage out of them. Quite tempted to pull out my color palette and begin already.
"I don’t believe we are attracted to gender, at all, I believe we are attracted to personalities, we have a predisposition to look for those personalities in specific genders, yes, but those personalities are not only exhibited in one gender. We are not straight or gay, we just love people, for who they are. I don’t think it should be more limited, or complicated than that."

Anonymous asked: Do you happen to have a photo blog? One where you reblog your inspirations and things that hits your personality more closely? I would love to know what inspires you every day. :)
Why yes. I do. Pictures speak louder than words if you ask me. My phototumblr is to express, not impress. Here you go!
Letting Go
As humans, attaching something or someone to ourselves comes as an automatic characteristic throughout our every day lives. Some people attach easily, others not so much. Every one of us has been hurt by someone else at some point in our lives, or will be hurt sooner or later. We were and will be treated badly, trust was and will be broken, hearts were and will be hurt.
Besides this pain being typical, for some the pain may last for far too long. We relive the pain over and over, and have a hard time letting go.
The thing is, it causes problems. Not letting go of what is consistently making you aggravated and upset will not only leave you morose, but strains and destroys other relationships, leaves us distracted from our work and surroundings, and most importantly, unwilling to open up to new matters and new people. We are snared in a cycle of bitterness and hurt, and miss out on so many other things life has to offer.
As hard as it is to say this, even for me, we need to learn to let go. We need to be able to forgive, so we can move on and be happy.
This is something I learned the hard way - after 3 years of holding onto anger over someone I once cared for much more than anything. I’ve realized I still care for him and there is no benefit in holding a grudge over what he did. What am I gaining? Nothing. What am I losing? Time I could be spending moving on to better affairs and new people instead of clinging onto what doesn’t matter anymore.
Forgiveness doesn’t mean you erase the past, or forget what has happened. No. You can’t do that, you can’t just forget. No one can. It also doesn’t mean the other person will change his or her behavior - you can’t control that. What it means is that you are letting go of the anger and pain, and moving on to a better place.
It’s not easy, I can tell you that. But you can learn to do it, eventually.
The past is the past. Accept that there is nothing you can do to change it. You’ve either said too much or said to little. But it’s in the past. Move on and live with the aftermath of your actions. If you were to go back, you couldn’t do anything differently because that’s who you were and that’s what you knew then. It’s done. let go. But never regret. If it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, it’s experience.

Anonymous asked: do you know the name of the font name for your title and the text in the speech bubbles? its so captivating to see the difference between that font and others like arial, in which all of them are the same height and width. ThankYou!
I have no idea what font it is, I didn’t create the theme. Usually I would change up the html of the theme myself to customize it but I didn’t this time so I haven’t come across the name of the font yet. Sorry!
Anonymous asked: Not so seem dumb but, wheres the next page button on your blog?
There’s almost no such thing as a dumb question. And I don’t have a next page button because my posts just scroll down to the very first post I’ve ever published.
"Your soul slipped right through my hands and onto the grass, where it now awaits a gentler hand to hold it, dear. And I am sorry to say, that hand is no longer mine."

You just put the biggest smile on my face, something I haven’t had in a while. I really appreciate that. Thankyou! :)
Slow Dancing in a Burning Room - John Mayer
"Weight isn’t important the way the magazines make you think it is. I know a girl who just looks at her face in the medicine cabinet mirror & never looks below her shoulders, & she’s four or five hundred pounds but she doesn’t see all that, she just sees a beautiful face & therefore she thinks she’s a beauty. & therefore I think she’s a beauty, too, because I usually accept people on the basis of their self-images, because their self-images have more to do with the way they think than their objective-images do. Maybe she’s six hundred pounds, who knows. If she doesn’t care, I don’t."
Andy Warhol
