“Follow the wandering, the distraction, find out why the mind has wandered; pursue it, go into it fully. When the distraction is completely understood, then that particular distraction is gone. When another comes, pursue it also.”
— Jiddu Krishnamurti
can’t believe there’s going to be a new generation of pjo fans who automatically picture walker scobell when they think of percy jackson and not a hodgepodge of viria and burdge’s fanart. does that make me old
it’s like insane that an ancient writer knew the words i needed to hear a thousand years on and could see me through all that time but also. it’s not surprising in the least bc they felt as i felt and they sang as i sang and they did everything i’ve ever done there is no state of being which they have not already passed i am nothing new i am not alone and that is a great joy to know
Off to manifest this xd
Simply imagine being a poet's muse.
Does anyone ever feel tired of simply existing?
You wanna know what's the most romantic thing ever?
Invisible man and his invisible girlfriend.
Imagine being in love with someone solely because she's the only one who actually understands you,
Who actually feels what it's been like for you,
Who has had the exact same life and hardships as you,
And the best part?
She doesn't care about your looks,
She doesn't care if you have a pre pubescent moustache or the hottest of bodies.
She only cares if you'll hold her hand forever in this invisible judgemental world.
And in a poetically injustice sort of a way,
.........
She's the only one who sees you.
And I'd have it no other way.
i will never understand people who don’t like history. how can you not be entranced by something so intertwined in every step you take and everything you set your eyes on? how can you not love something that explains everything from the ground you walk on to the clothes you wear and the tongue you speak? how can you not adore something that tells the tale of every human who ever walked the earth? how can you not like something so deeply human?

That's it. That's their friendship.
“THE WORLD IS increasingly designed to depress us. Happiness isn’t very good for the economy. If we were happy with what we had, why would we need more? How do you sell an anti-ageing moisturiser? You make someone worry about ageing. How do you get people to vote for a political party? You make them worry about immigration. How do you get them to buy insurance? By making them worry about everything. How do you get them to have plastic surgery? By highlighting their physical flaws. How do you get them to watch a TV show? By making them worry about missing out. How do you get them to buy a new smartphone? By making them feel like they are being left behind. To be calm becomes a kind of revolutionary act. To be happy with your own non-upgraded existence. To be comfortable with our messy, human selves, would not be good for business.”
