when you’ve been pretty much immobile for the last 4 months, walking around without pain feels pretty amazing.
Currently rewatching so my inner monologue will shut the hell up.
A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.

Great weekend!
seeing this is kind of depressing. TIME TO RELOCATE?
btw if the city looks familiar and you don’t know why… you probably own an Apple product.
every year after Movember I feel so CHANGED :P
There are moments in life, moments when you know you’ve crossed a bridge. Your old life is over.

Best 90's playlist ever
you’re welcome
I was volunteering at the hospital today hanging out with an infant. We had a good thirty minutes of laughs, giggles, and smiles but then he starts to cry. Not knowing what to do, I start singing random high school choir songs and Disney songs. It lulls him right to sleep lol. I can tell I’m going to love working in a hospital when I get out of school :)

….live a little.
I’m here to tell you this. Forget about your life expectancy.
After all, it’s calculated based on an average. And you never, ever want to expect being average.
Revisit those expectations. You might be looking forward to working, falling in love, marrying, raising a family. You are told that, as graduates, you should expect to find a job paying so much, where your hours are so much, where your responsibilities are so much.
That is what is expected of you. And if you live up to it, it will be an awful waste.
If you expect that, you will be limiting yourself. You will be living your life according to boundaries set by average people. I have nothing against average people. But no one should aspire to be them.

For anyone who hasn’t seen this… my inspiration for when I do landscape photography and quite possibly one of the most moving and inspirational videos I have ever watched.
I recommend watching it in HD and fullscreen.
The Mountain by TSO Photograpy
“We are all connected; To each other, biologically. To the earth, chemically. To the rest of the universe atomically.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson
One final paragraph of advice: do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am - a reluctant enthusiast….a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it’s still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, the lovely, mysterious, and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much; I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound men and women with their hearts in a safe deposit box, and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this; You will outlive the bastards.

You only live once, and most people don’t even do that.
A 9 year old boy - who built an elaborate cardboard arcade inside his dad’s used auto part store - is about to have the best day of his life.
this was so awesome
