Don’t ever think that you are dealing with life on your own.

There is a hell of a lot of people who care about you and are willing to face the whole world with you. Remember that.

The playful relationship I’ve always wanted.

I love being able to act like a little kid when I’m with him. He looks at me funny sometimes, but for the most part, he goes along with it. I love how we can play fight and end up rolling on the floor laughing. I love how he never fails to make me laugh. 

“Do you think I’m pretty?”

“No…I think you’re beautiful.” 

Don’t lose who you are

Don’t forget about where you came from, what your values are, who your friends are, what matters most and your priorities. Most importantly, don’t lose who you are. 

Study Abroad

I really hope I get the chance to study abroad this winter. The only obstacle that I see if I get accepted, is whether I am financially capable of paying for it. It’s $3700 for the program, but that doesn’t even cover airfare and extra spending money. I would guess that airfare is like $2000-$3000 and extra spending money, like another $200. So a total of up to $7000 to study abroad. HOLY SHIT BALLS THAT’S A LOT OF MONEY. BUT how great of an experience it would be…There is a scholarship available for $500. If given to me, that still leaves about $6500…Maybe I can ask all of my family members like my aunts, uncles, cousins if they would be willing to help me. I sure hope they would. Gosh, this would mean so much to me if I could do this…You don’t understand…

Seattle’s vision of an urban food oasis is going forward. A seven-acre plot of land in the city’s Beacon Hill neighborhood will be planted with hundreds of different kinds of edibles: walnut and chestnut trees; blueberry and raspberry bushes; fruit trees, including apples and pears; exotics like pineapple, yuzu citrus, guava, persimmons, honeyberries, and lingonberries; herbs; and more. All will be available for public plucking to anyone who wanders into the city’s first food forest.
“This is totally innovative, and has never been done before in a public park,” Margarett Harrison, lead landscape architect for the Beacon Food Forest project, tells TakePart. Harrison is working on construction and permit drawings now and expects to break ground this summer.
The concept of a food forest certainly pushes the envelope on urban agriculture and is grounded in the concept of permaculture, which means it will be perennial and self-sustaining, like a forest is in the wild. Not only is this forest Seattle’s first large-scale permaculture project, but it’s also believed to be the first of its kind in the nation.

This woman took a picture of herself for each day in the worst year of her life. A shocking portrait of how domestic violence works on a woman, either it’s physical or psychological.

I wish I knew what I wanted to do as a career when I first started college. I feel as though I wasted so much time “exploring” and now I’m on the edge. I am still waiting to hear back a second time from the Human Service Department about whether or not I got in after being reconsidered. 

This quarter I’m taking a health education class and I’m starting to second guess my degree choice. Maybe I should have stuck with biology or went for a pre-med to then go on to medical school. Maybe that should have been the ideal career path for me. But now it’s too late. I’m already a junior, I’m not in a major, and I’m most likely going to be a 5th year senior. I don’t even know how I’m going to pay for all of this.

Why does society expect us to graduate high school, go to college and immediately know what we want to do with our lives. I’m 21 and I still have no idea what I want to do. Sure, I have a general idea, but there are so many options.
