GIVE ME A RUBBER BAYONET AND A PLASTIC SWORD SO THAT I MAY DEFEAT THE ARTIFICIAL BEASTS INSIDE OF ME

"I am not a graceful person. I am not a Sunday morning or a Friday sunset. I am a Tuesday 2am, I am gunshots muffled by a few city blocks, I am a broken window during February. My bones crack on a nightly basis. I fall from elegance with a dull thud, and I apologize for my awkward sadness. I sometimes believe that I don’t belong around people, that I belong to all the leap days that didn’t happen. The way light and darkness mix under my skin has become a storm. You don’t see the lightning, but you hear the echoes."

explore-blog: Every once in a while — often when we least expect it — we encounter someone more courageous, someone who choose to strive for that which (to us) seemed unrealistically unattainable, even elusive. And we marvel. We swoon. We gape. Often , we are in awe. I think we look at these people as lucky, when in fact, luck has nothing to do with it. It is really about the strength of their imagination; it is about how they constructed the possibilities for their Life. In short, unlike me, they didn’t determine what was impossible before it was even possible. Fail Safe – Debbie Millman’s fantastic illustrated essay of timeless advice on courage and the creative life.

I AM SIGN LANGUAGE QUEEN OF THE WORLD

And tumblr is the only place I’m brave enough to proclaim it.

run-a-sub-22: Just a pool, disguised as a pond, with a trampoline instead of a diving board. I wrote a paper about these kinds of pools several years ago for a class when they were just prototypes. These pools have a natural filtration system that run based on the plants that are in the pool that give the water nutrients that allow it to not only be crystal clear, but you are also able to drink the water because it becomes so clean. And the best part is that once the initial filtration system is installed and calibrated, it maintains itself and eliminates the need for chlorine or constant maintenance like salt water pools.  Bucket list
