If someone really loves you,
brendangardiola:
You’ll actually know. They’ll take the time to talk to you and be with you. They’ll love you truly and unconditionally even with all your flaws. They’ll never give up on you through thick and thin and will fight for you until the very end. When you’re having a really crappy day, they’ll do anything just to make you smile. If someone really loves you, they’ll do all this and...

Question: Is it or isn’t it wrong to analyze a philosophical text, such as the Tao Te Ching, from a purely literal standpoint?
It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in...

Also airing on January 23rd on e4, but since it’s already available online I will not be posting a livestream for the premiere. This stream may be taken down, so if you want to watch it but haven’t yet, do it soon! Unfortunately I can no longer post downloads, sorry about that. You can look through the Skins tag for one, but beware of spoilers.

Jim C. Hines attempts female book cover poses →
nullarysources:
Hines, an author of fantasy novels:
My sense is that most of these covers are supposed to convey strong, sexy heroines, but these are not poses that suggest strength. You can’t fight from these stances. I could barely even walk.
Don’t miss the photos.

Leo Buscaglia Quotes →
mynameishollyclark:
Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time… It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.
Don’t brood. Get on with living and loving. You don’t have forever.
Don’t smother each other. No one can grow in the shade.
I believe that you control your destiny, that you can be what you want to be. You can also stop and say, No, I won’t do it, I...

It frightens me that the word Taken is so often used in place of “In a relationship” or any other phrase used to express that you are not single. It just sounds so strange, scary even. Taken. I don’t know. Maybe it’s just me.
It isn’t just you. But do consider the symbolic nature of their word choice: Those that are using the word “taken” in lieu of “in a...

ambiguouslysavvy:
This is what enlightenment is all about - a deep understanding that there is no problem. Then, with no problem to solve, what will you do? Immediately you start living. You will eat, you will sleep, you will love, you will work, you will have a chit-chat, you will sing, you will dance - what else is there to do?

Do the people I’m spending time with give me life, or make me feel small?
For a long time I had been surrounded by people who I called my friends, but they kept me feeling small. I don’t blame them for doing this, for I don’t believe they had intended to do so and that that is just how our group ended up, my always being the back-of-the-pack onlooker.
But a bit over a year and...
