I Wonder If The States Have Made Me Soft
I fear I’m gonna go back home and find it nothing as I imagined. And it’s gonna hurt because I’m just gonna be in this bubble, expectant of a world that doesn’t exist.

Medicine in this country is ass backward.
evanhateshippys:
Why is it, that I can buy all sorts of things over-the-counter to kill myself with (alcohol, cigarettes, etc) but need a doctor’s prescription for the stuff that may save my life (antibiotics)?
Tumblr Spam
edgeree:
Tumblr has the smartest spam…
How are you gonna send me tons of messages claiming to be from the Tumblr tech team or whatever, saying that I’ve somehow won an iPhone… Then have the audacity to send another message purporting to be from the same source, apologising for the spam sent, but now because I did receive this spam, that I actually have a chance of being sent an iPhone… LOL

I always wish for more hours of the day, in my dreams it would be directed to getting more work done, but let’s not kid ourselves because in reality it’s just for me to waste even more time.
To daydream and all that good stuff.

Mudita
Mudita (Pāli and Sanskrit: मुदित) in Buddhism is joy. It is especially sympathetic or vicarious joy, the pleasure that comes from delighting in other people’s well-being rather than begrudging it. The traditional paradigmatic example of this mind-state is the attitude of a parent observing a growing child’s accomplishments and successes, but it is not to be confounded with proudness as the...

blade1494:
Never thought I’d say this, but I have a favorite poet. Never thought the poet of the poem I’ve had to recite for the 4th time today had as much meaningful words to say that he did. If I turned down the request to recite it again for my American Literature teacher today, I wouldn’t have ventured out to “see what the rest are like”. Leading to me finding a poem that perfectly...

The Phases of You |
detroitwisdom:
Most people don’t realize that every ten years, on average, your state of existence changes.
From the age of one to ten, your main reality is school and play. Almost nothing exists except the opportunity for free play.
From the age of ten to twenty, you start looking for yourself, and as you start finding yourself, you begin to question, how do I fit into my environment or...

So...I'm not a bad writer when I'm on my game.
So why does it seem like after every-time I speak, I seem to walk away the most moved person in the room.
A while back, I joked to myself that if I really choose to take on the life of an elected official, I’ve got to learn how to chock my speeches up with a litany of aphorisms and rhetoric. I looked up the term, aphorism, and its defined as “a concise statement containing a...

RIP Arm-Chair Philosophy
I’ve grown interested in the narratives of how Objectivism and Existentialism have turned the lives of so many on its head. At the same time, I’m a bit worried. In Revolutionary Suicide, Huey describes his immersion in philosophy as the last nail in the coffin of his Christianity. Do I consider my faith that strong? Arguably, the only reason my faith sits unshaken is due to the fact...
