what you share with the world is what it keeps

“Love doesn’t use a fist.
Love never calls you fat or lazy or ugly.
Love doesn’t laugh at you in front of friends.
It is not in Love’s interest for your self-esteem to be low.
Love is a helium-based emotion; Love always takes the high road.
Love does not make you beg.
Love does not make you deposit your paycheck into its bank account.
Love certainly never, never brings the children into it.
Love does not ask or even want you to change. But if you change, Love is as excited about this change as you are, if not more so. And if you go back to the way you were before you changed, Love will go back with you.
Love does not maintain a list of your flaws and weaknesses.
Love believes in you.
Love is patient; Love does not make a point of showing you how patient it is.
It is critical to understand the distinction.”

— Augusten Burroughs, “How to Identify Love by Knowing What It’s Not” from This Is How
(also see 1 Corinthians 13)

warming a freezing cold premature kitten up, and back to life. there are worse ways to spend a wednesday night. (new born kittens look like starved rats, FYI)

got rid of my facebook app

and i want to get rid of instagram

because this is driving me crazy.

but today i got to spend time with a friend that i love so dearly. these fleeting moments of time together are bittersweet. why is it that two of my dearest friends live too far for me to hug on a daily, or even weekly, or even monthly basis? can’t i live in all places at once? life is hard. 

also, i mostly can’t wait for my TCC classes because they mean that i get to doodle.

Love love love love this movie. Love. It.
