that guy who went to space and said something along the lines of how it shattered his illusions about the wonders of the universe entirely because it was just cold and empty and dead and vast and everything worth marvelling at was back down on earth. yeah

i think about this so often when i learn content in my classes. having a data science major and a sociology minor really brings the importance of humanity to light

There’s an interview with Sir David Attenborough where he’s asked if he’d ever travel to space if he’s given the chance

And he immediately rejects the thought, saying that everything exciting is right there on earth, and that going to space would be really boring

I think Sir David Attenborough is on to something

thank you for sharing!!!! i love his documentaries and i’m so happy to hear he shares a similar perspective!!

It's okay to want a 'simple' life. You don't need to be someone who gets up at 5am, goes to the gym, does this and that. You don't need to have the most 'optimized' life to be allowed to be content. You decide what is important to you, not the people online or the people around you.

i needed to hear this so badly, thank you for sharing this!!!!

i find joy in the small things and i don’t need to constantly search for more

Even if things are stressful or scary right now, know that there are little ways that things can get better. There are beautiful things you can experience in the world and you will find moments of joy.

loved your tags on this!!!! also the original post is lovely as well!!!!

i say this like a prayer

don’t be scared to live lovingly. compliment your friends on the little things and cheer for live bands in small cafes and leave tips when you can. tell the person you saw that you really like their shirt and write cards and letters to the people you love. make playlists for people and don’t be afraid to express your appreciation for others. life is so much better when you live it with love.

this is actually my entire life philosophy summed up in a tumblr post!

i being little gifts to my friends, i compliment strangers on the street, i make jokes with service workers, and i always tell people how much i love them!!!!

i choose to bring as much joy and love to this life as i possibly can!

self pity will ruin your life. making your struggles a personality trait will ruin your life. victimizing yourself will ruin your life. lacking self awareness will ruin your life. allow yourself to feel in the moment, accept what happened, learn to focus on what you can control and what you need to change, and put in the efforts to heal from your traumas. or you’ll always find yourself stuck in the same cycle and negative state.

true!!!! negativity becoming a part of your self identity will never end well!

stay strong and stay hopeful!

I do feel like this whole self improvement culture thing can go too far where people are never happy with who they are and where they are because they’re constantly trying to be better or do better and they’re always waiting for some sort of glow up or achievement or therapy realisation that will make them feel complete but that isn’t real and life is actually in the every day

this is SO TRUE!!!!! don’t waste your life waiting for some future moment!!!!! life is now! life is the present!!!! enjoy it!!!

love gets lighter when you realize it's every where, especially in the little details

i truly love my friends more than words can express. they make life worth living!

everything you love will lead you back to you

I AM CAPABLE OF SUCH WONDERFUL THINGS THERE IS NO NEED TO LIMIT MYSELF TO THINGS I FIND EASY I CAN DO SO MUCH MORE

REALEST POST EVER

need this so bad

so THIS is why i have times i need different types of restful activities!!! love it!!!

one day you'll wake up and think, "life is okay". it'll happen gradually. you'll start to notice flowers blooming in a new light. your evening shower will be a sweet refuge. your morning coffee will warm your soul. things will seem bright and beautiful, and you'll wonder how you ever wanted to leave such lovely things behind

me when the depression starts to wane! but even when i’m depressed i search for these moments! life is tough but i’m a fighter! make the choice to do what you can do feel better!

i love authors with hope in their souls!!!! literature shows us how to live!!!!! there is a future for you! you will be loved and you will find joy!

I forget about all of my lives. art school, anthropology student, tea house girl, author, lonely warehouse girl, florist, gardener, cook, home owner. if I can look at my life and lovingly see that I want many things and will always want many things, to have my hands in so many ways of being, then I can be all of it. I can have two hundred lives in me and let them all live out. I don’t have to be so serious. I don’t have to be so still.

there are so many wonderful things to experience in this life, and i want to try them all!!!!!
