Looking at this with different eyes. You either open the door and risk the vastness of the unknown...either drown forever seeking or float happily on waves Or you can close the door and not know either, forever wondering.

So close and yet so far...

Don't you just love collective nouns! 😍 Can you give me your favorite collective noun (not just of birds)

Because “flock” is not enough.

Your life is like a quilt
And everybody weaves their share
Some weave huge great tapestries
And some weave tiny squares

Some squares bring you laughter
And some will bring you tears
Some are stitched and sewn by those
Who are no longer here

In places there are threads
From people choosing not to stay
And every time you touch these threads
It brings back all the pain

But every little thread
That weaves its joy and pain and fun
Has stitched a quilt together
Of the person you’ve become

And every little tiny part
Has slowly taught you how
To weave your contribution
Into the blanket you have now

So I know there are squares that comfort you
And some that you dislike
But without them all you wouldn’t have
This patchwork of your life

Guess who sleeps in this bedroom. Could be a princess, a rock star, a poet, the doctor who seldom get to actually sleep in it...a baker with the sweetest cakes ever.. Or a mean business tycoon who secretly retires every night dreaming of becoming a housewife. Whoever sleeps here must have a soul longing to wake in beauty everyday 💜

Good night, dear tea lovers! Sweet Dreams!

My life was hurrying, racing tragically toward its end. And yet at the same time it was dripping so slowly, so very slowly now, hour by hour, minute by minute. One always has to wait until the sugar melts, the memory dies, the wound scars over, the sun sets, the unhappiness lifts and fades away. ~Simone de Beauvoir (Book: The Woman Destroyed) . . . . . . #existentialism #existential #existentialphilosophy #philothoughts #philosophyquotes #literaryquotes
