“Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. You must either learn to carry the Universe or be crushed by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors.”

I’d like to cancel my subscription to Menstrual Cycle Monthly
I’m sorry, it appears you’ve taken out a fifty-sixty year subscription. However, we can pause it for nine months as long as you sign a contract that says you’ll take out a subscription to Baby Daily for at least eighteen years
Damn those Terms and Conditions.
finally looking forward to going back to Jamaica tomorrow. I need to reboot. i hope this trip isnt hectic and allows me to do that. also ready to unplug.
i can only come to 3 possible conclusions:
1. you’re hella good at self-restraint.
2. you’re not interested.
3. you’re preoccupied.
people are so hard to read! shit.
Hey Candace, This may seem pretty random but, what are your favorite types of music and favorite artists/musicians?
these days my favourite bands/aritists are Little Dragon, Warpaint, Poliça, Hocus Pocus, James Blake, Azealia Banks, Daft Punk, Dirty Projectors, XXYYXX, Atoms for peace, Shrines….. to name a few. All time favourites include unified theory, nujabes, gorillaz, utada, burial, tribe called quest….. the list is too extensive.
lots of international music as well- esp spanish guitar.
“We praise people for being “naturally” smart, too, “naturally” athletic, and etc. But studies continue to show, as they have for some time now, that it is generally healthier to praise schoolchildren for being hardworking, than for being naturally gifted. We know now that to emphasize a child’s inherent ability places pressure on that child to continue to be accidentally talented, which is something that is hard for anyone to control. When the children who are applauded for their natural skills fail, they are shown to take the failure very personally. After all, the process of their success has always seemed mysterious and basic and inseparable from the rest of their identity, so it must be they who are failing as whole people. When students are instead complimented and rewarded for their effort and improvement, they tend to not be so hard on themselves. When they fail, they reason, “Well, I’ll work harder next time.” They learn that they are capable of success, rather than constantly automatically deserving of it, and they learn simultaneously that they are bigger and more complex than their individual successes or failures.”

aside from some moments of foolishness, which i assume are associated with expelling the negative energy from my life, I’ve been on a natural high of late. It may be attributed to working towards being present, and really doing my best to only allow light in my life and also to project light. It’s been great to slowly take charge of my energy again- It took 3yrs to cycle through but it’s well worth it. Big tings a gwan!
