“The world is a book. People who don’t travel only get to read one page.” One thing I love abt Siem Reap is that books are sold everywhere: at bookstores, in the night market and even peddled on the city street and tourist areas. #books #siemreap #cambodia

When people turn to fictional characters, it’s often because they want an escape. The stories of these people shelter us from the storm of our daily lives; they save us, if only for a little while. But when we really give in, become invested, let ourselves be vulnerable, something changes. We begin to feel that we know them. It’s no longer just an escape, but part of us, something that makes us who we are.

These characters teach us that incredible adversity can be overcome. That people can love each other forever. That life can be an adventure. That magic can be real. And even if these miracles have never happened to us, we begin to go through life believing that, someday, they could.

“And I promise you that you’re important. Don’t look at me like that- in all my 900 years I’ve never met someone who wasn’t important.”

“Cheer up mate, it gets better. Look at me, I was once a little kid living under the stairs. You’ll do fine.”

“Hey. I know it seems like life sucks, that you’ve got the devil on your tail. Hell, sometimes you do. But you’re strong enough to beat him. You’ve got friends at your back and family too, and that’s what really counts in the end.”

“Don’t be silly, they’re wrong about you; of course you matter. You’ve always mattered.”

WOW CONGRATS YOU JUST MADE ME CRY OVER MY OWN POST

Being a geek isn’t about what you love, it’s about how you love it. I’m a geek for geeks.

Your judgement is not my problem.

So because I am me, I stalked Urawa Reds’ Makino Tomoaki’s twitter and found these tweets where he basically said he watches his Arashi concert DVD every morning to raise his spirits.

Now I wanna follow the J-league. But how?

Everyone, sooner or later, gets a thorough schooling in brokenness. The question becomes: What to do with the pieces? Some people hunker down atop the local pile of ruins and make do, Bedouin tending their goats in the shade of shattered giants. Others set about breaking what remains of the world…

SARAH: Thank you I knew you would understand!

JOSH: Shame he was never in anything else.

SARAH: Excuse you, he was in Ringer, which was cancelled, and Moonlight, which I don’t speak of, and one episode of Supernatural, which I remind myself I should see, and he almost got the role of Klaus in the Vampire Diaries!

JOSH: Well, I see his handsomeness left a deep impression on one of us…

casualweapons:

“I’m sorry that you feel that way” is not a fucking apology

“I’m sorry you took it that way” is not a fucking apology

“I’m sorry you misinterpreted it” is not a fucking apology

That is the most fucking passive aggressive thing and it irritates me to no end.

“Secretary of State Clinton showed up to answer tough and sometimes ridiculous questions regarding the deadly September 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya. In the process, she offered a tutorial for today’s young women.

Key points:

1) When a man asks you a question and then refuses to look at you as you answer, just keep going. Don’t let his rudeness silence you.

2) When he interrupts you, return the favor.

3) When he says things you know are not true, correct him. Repeatedly.

4) When he attempts to bully you, mow him down with facts.

5) And whenever possible, smile. Nothing rattles an angry man like a woman who looks happy to annoy him.”

#i love how fma #sets up equivalent exchange as this whole giant thing that cannot be broken #this universal law of truth #and then uses the whole series as a way of deconstructing it #and it acknowledges that yes in life there will be pain and loss and sacrifice #but its like al said #you cant just sacrifice something and call it even #no you must continue living and learning and overcoming and maybe someday #you finally gain something irreplacable #ed and al set out to gain their bodies back #in the end they not only gained that but a whole network of support and friends and family #they beat the law of equivalent exchange by acknowledging that nothing is as important as the meaningful connections between people #ed gave up his alchemy in exchange for a world filled with people he is meaningfully connected to #and truth itself knows that is not even close to a fair trade because #you can never replace or exchange people that mean something to you #but all truth says is well done #you have beat the truth #you have beaten equivalent exchange #well done
