There is Always Hope

Artist’s statement: 

“The study of astronomy is a practice that engages in a delicate balancing act between hope and truth. Our vision of the universe is a systematic categorization of existence. As inhabitants of our planet, we are all involuntary participants in the organization of the known universe and the exploration of the unknown. 

One could say that an entire pattern of thinking comes from studying the delicate position of the human being in the universe. Somewhere between fear and romanticism, all rational thought is held and subjected.
And the truth, whatever it may be, is conditioned by our relative position
and our ‘rational’ thought, which is constantly and consistently subject to
romanticism.

These cards are intended as valentines to the universe, pointing out a personalized romantic relationship we all have with the cosmos. All of text is taken from scientific reports.”

Friendly reminder, especially now that it is summer, that thin privilege is a real thing. Please don’t shame anyone for their body. It’s hot out. Let people dress how they want. Body policing is not cute on anybody. Please, be kind.

All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair.”
― Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet in Heaven

—Truth rings in this quote.  I, myself am cracked. But I am glad, being so naïve in today’s world isn’t the greatest thing.  I have been cracked, but that has matured me. (via dreamer4evr97)

  • These next few months are going to be crazy.
  • Jack just so happens to have scheduled his classes on the days I don't have class (mine is from 2-930pm so all day basically) and we both are going to be working full time if we both get our second jobs.
  • Gatdam.
  • Well at least we'll be moved in together soon.
