Incoming Love
Within the past few days, I have received an amount of tangible love that just makes me squirm with joy.
Not only did I make a lovely new friend who I could one day like way more than a friend and at the same time am happy being just friends with
but I have also just come home from work to genuine care. My inboxes are filled with letters and messages of curiosity, friendship, questions, congratulations (for just the littlest things), joy, and gratitude. It’s all so brilliant.
Today, my coworker put a bag of carefully selected chocolates in the back room for me, just as a surprise. Then my other coworker, who I actually am growing to care about in a way that I only care about family, came over to my department and put a bag of selected chocolates into my workspace. Just as a sweet little surprise.
Totally separate ran-kins. Committed within the same hour. With me as the victim of their random act of kindness. The fact that people think of me on their lunch break and think to do things like this for me, that’s so touching.
The highlight of this showered-with-love week: my client’s child running over and hugging me and not letting go. God knows I will take a hug any day, especially from a being smaller than myself, that’s always a little different. Jeez, it was cute as can be.
Thank you for the love. It’s invaluable. And now to pay it forward.

We didn’t have a stick of furniture. We would have picnics in the living room. We ate when we felt like it. Stayed up all night when we wanted. We vowed never to fall into routine, to go to bed or wake up at the same time. We lived on that mattress.
#when ppl mention their fav fincher films why does this film never get mentioned?
My favorite part of the movie.

This is what it looks like to live “off the grid” in the United States
How far would you be willing to go to minimize your impact on the planet?
Photographer Eric Valli has assembled an absolutely stunning series of images, documenting the lives of people who have decided to live out their lives “Off the Grid.” Valli says he spent a number of years living with four different groups, each one living at a different degree of separation from society.
Writes Valli:
There are growing number of people
who have decided to live light on the earth
to not be a part of problem anymore
I spent the last few years with four of them
striving for harmony with nature
in the most pristine corners of United States.We’ve included a few examples below, but you’ll want to check out Valli’s site for the entire series. [Spotted on boingboing]

This looks like a pretty amazing piece.

“
Texting and e-mail and posting let us present the self we want to be. This means we can edit. And if we wish to, we can delete. Or retouch: the voice, the flesh, the face, the body. Not too much, not too little — just right.
Human relationships are rich; they’re messy and demanding. We have learned the habit of cleaning them up with technology. And the move from conversation to connection is part of this. But it’s a process in which we shortchange ourselves. Worse, it seems that over time we stop caring, we forget that there is a difference.
We are tempted to think that our little “sips” of online connection add up to a big gulp of real conversation. But they don’t. E-mail, Twitter, Facebook, all of these have their places — in politics, commerce, romance and friendship. But no matter how valuable, they do not substitute for conversation.

Guys who think they “deserve” a girl.
Oh, she won’t “do anything” with you because her friends said you were creepy?
BUT WHY? You seem to be doing everything right! What is wrong with her?
No one owes you anything, you ignorant schmuck. You don’t “deserve” anyone if you think you are entitled. They can tell you they think your thumbnail is weird and they’re not interested, and all you should hear from that is “I’m not interested.”
Also, unless you are worried that the word fits your personality and actions too well, you shouldn’t worry about being called a creeper. The truth comes out anyway, no matter what. No one’s ruining your chances with girls more than you are, just by being who you are!
Why don’t you work on becoming a decent human being and then get to know someone for who they are, genuinely?
I hope you find happiness at some point in your life. Good luck with… all that.
PS: This applies to anyone of any gender. I am generalizing my own experiences and what I have observed on Tumblr tonight.

I can’t believe I’m 20 and so are the people I went to school with, but I still (and so very frequently) see “NO MAKEUP” as a supposedly relevant photo caption on Facebook. I thought we would grow out of that, you guys! C’mon. Now you’re not supposed to care about that stuff. Alas, we still have the ones who, not only care, but oh how they also share.
“Just showered, no makeup.”
“No makeup but new hair. I’m blonde!!”
“Nooooo makeup! <3”
Really??!? I almost didn’t recognize you without that makeup! Can I interest you in a fresh-baked, gluten-free, all-natural cookie?
