one of the best feelings is being caught off guard by someone's kindness towards you, especially when you're having a bad day, and you can't stop thinking about it for the next two weeks
for the longest time, it feels like i have been trying to make sense of life but now i see there is no sense to be made, only life to be lived. there is no set purpose to fulfill, there are no checklists to complete, just an ephemeral moment to breathe, to love, to be kind, to feel. life is in all the simple, little things that we so often overlook. uncomplicate your heart. be here, be present, embrace your own journey. there is so much beauty and wonder to be found right where you are.

This is the hauntingly beautiful Shelley Memorial at Oxford. Commissioned to depict how his drowned body looked washed ashore. I hope to view this in person one day. Photo source: http://hcshakespeare.blogspot.com/
March will be filled with happiness.
March will be filled with positivity.
March will be filled with progress.
March will be filled with opportunity.
March will be filled with kindness.
March will be filled with love.

it’s wild to think that like.. all the raw materials to make like an iphone.. or a laptop.. or the internet.. have all existed for literally the entire history of humanity.. all the stuff.. has been here.. on earth.. and all the natural forces.. electricity… magnetism.. have all existed.. but.. we just didn’t know how to put it all together.. like… i wonder what miracles exist around us.. right now.. at this very moment.. that we can’t even imagine

Waking up early is a weirdly good feeling. The silence of the rest of the house, the cold breeze hitting your face from an open window, sneaking downstairs to get a cup of tea without waking anyone else, sunrises, being able to relax in the afternoons, opening your laptop to the glow of a productive morning.
Yes, I’ve done it only the once; it might happen more often now
