Tell me how all this, and love too, will ruin us. Tell me we’ll never get used to it.

Here’s a little inspiration to tell your love how you really feel.
Here’s the thing about love: It’s hard to put into words.
Love brings up emotions that run the gamut from agony to ecstasy. Love can inspire us to accomplish some of the craziest and most amazing feats.
Love can make you happier than you’ve ever been, sadder than you’ve ever been, angrier than you’ve ever been. It can elate you and deflate you almost at the same time.
While we can all pretty much recognize the emotions associated with love, actually finding the words to explain those feelings is a pretty tough order.
People have searched for centuries to find the right way to say “I love you” and to try to explain those butterflies in your stomach, that warm fuzzy feeling in your belly and that heart skipping a beat.
One thing we DO know is that whether you’ve love and won — or loved and lost, it’s ALWAYS worth it.
While there are plenty of non-verbal ways to express your love, finding that perfect love quote that sums up exactly what you’re feeling can be pretty amazing.
Luckily, some the world’s greatest artists, poets, musicians and hopeless romantics (like ourselves) have managed to articulate the magic of loveusing words so simple and perfect, sharing them can mean the world.
We couldn’t have put these inspirational phrases better ourselves.
You don’t walk away if you love someone. You help the person.

It’s funny how it’s so hard to love myself but so easy to love others. I hate the reflection in the mirror, but love those who force me to hate it. The Irony.

I have not forgotten you. You’re just a memory with edges, still too sharp to touch.

Self-portraiture is synonymous to experimenting and getting to know one’s self, it’s a classic tradition of art history, but it never fails to be beautiful. And such is Rimel Neffati, who finds amusement within herself, through photography, red lipstick, masks, crowns, and flowers.
If people are their deepest thoughts and darkest secrets, I’m convinced that no one really knows anybody.

I’m scared to be happy because my happiness often gets ruined before I can even realise it.

‘Sun: Every day I miss you, I contemplate your beauty from the distance wishing I could be close to you, I Love You’ 'Moon: Every night I miss you, it’s no easy to be lonely and cold. So I decide to come close to you every now and then. To see your light and feel your warms and when our Love aligns the earth and the universe feel our energy. I love you more than there are planets and start.’

Parker Solar Probe will fly directly through the Sun’s atmosphere, called the corona. Getting better measurements of this region is key to understanding our Sun. For instance, the Sun releases a constant outflow of solar material, called the solar wind. We think the corona is where this solar wind is accelerated out into the solar system, and Parker Solar Probe’s measurements should help us pinpoint how that happens.
The solar wind, along with other changing conditions on the Sun and in space, can affect Earth and are collectively known as space weather. Space weather can trigger auroras, create problems with satellites, cause power outages (in extreme cases), and disrupt our communications signals. That’s because space weather interacts with Earth’s upper atmosphere, where signals like radio and GPS travel from place to place.
Parker Solar Probe is named after pioneering physicist Gene Parker. In the 1950s, Parker proposed a number of concepts about how stars — including our Sun — give off energy. He called this cascade of energy the solar wind. Parker also theorized an explanation for the superheated solar atmosphere, the corona, which is hotter than the surface of the Sun itself.
Getting the answers to our questions about the solar wind and the Sun’s energetic particles is only possible by sending a probe right into the furnace of the Sun’s corona, where the spacecraft can reach 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit. Parker Solar Probe and its four suites of instruments – studying magnetic and electric fields, energetic particles, and the solar wind – will be protected from the Sun’s enormous heat by a 4.5-inch-thick carbon-composite heat shield.
Over the course of its seven-year mission, Parker Solar Probe will make two dozen close approaches to the Sun, continuously breaking its own records and sending back unprecedented science data.
Getting close to the Sun is harder than you might think, since the inertia of a spacecraft launched from Earth will naturally carry it in repeated orbits on roughly the same path. To nudge the orbit closer to the Sun on successive trips, Parker Solar Probe will use Venus’ gravity.
This is a technique called a gravity assist, and it’s been used by Voyager, Cassini, and OSIRIS-REx, among other missions. Though most missions use gravity assists to speed up, Parker Solar Probe is using Venus’ gravity to slow down. This will let the spacecraft fall deeper into the Sun’s gravity and get closer to our star than any other spacecraft in human history.

Fourteen new Astronaut Candidates have reported to our Johnson Space Center in Houston for duty on Monday, Aug. 21! Two astronauts from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), along with our 12 new astronaut candidates arrived for their first day of work. We selected these 12 individuals from a record number of more than 18,000 applicants.
This excited group of outstanding individuals will begin 2 years of training, along with 2 Canadian astronauts, in 5 key areas before being assigned to a mission.
What 5 areas? Let’s take a look…
1. Operate in T-38 Jets
Astronauts must be able to safely operate in the T-38 jets as either a pilot or back seater.
2. Operate + Maintain the International Space Station
Astronauts learn to operate and maintain the complex systems aboard the International Space Station. Did you know they recycle their water there? Today’s coffee is…well, tomorrow’s coffee too.
3. Learn How to Spacewalk
Or should we say waterwalk? Astronauts demonstrate the skills to complete complex spacewalk tasks in our Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory. This 6.2 million gallon pool contains a mockup of the space station and is a close simulation to microgravity.
4. Learn to Operate a Robot
Astronauts train in Canada for 2 weeks to learn how to capture visiting vehicles and more with the space station’s Canadarm 2 robotic arm.
5. Learn a Foreign Language
Astronauts must be fluent in both English and Russian, the two official languages on the International Space Station.
But before they begin all this training…they had to report for duty…
This group reported for Johnson Space Center on eclipse day and was sworn in as NASA’s Astronaut Candidate Class of 2017.
They even got to experience the partial solar eclipse together, what a great first day!

…because people who talk about their dreams are actually trying to tell you things about themselves they’d never admit in normal conversation. It’s a way for people to be honest without telling the truth.

To love me means also loving to hear all the raging thoughts in my head at one in the morning when all of my frustrations suddenly burst; it also means embracing all the quirkiness wrapped around my entirety like adoring how beautiful the stars up above midnight or how the clouds move in a slow motion to form warriors and knights; it may as well mean coming with me at Mcdonald’s when I crave for some fries and sundae at two in the morning; it’s also defined as listening to my senseless and repetitious stories about my dreams, fantasies and everyday life. To love me means swearing that you would listen to the songs I would tell to you in the middle of the day because I assure you, you’d be hearing from me talking about them from time to time. Loving someone like me isn’t easy for I am someone scarred badly in the past. My whole system is composed of heartaches, pains, sorrows and miseries—I am imperfectly flawed but that made me who I am. To love me is to embrace those imperfections stitched through my veins. To love me means allowing me to have solitude once in a while since I have these moments that I want to shut my world down from everybody else; I have those dark times that I never wanted to talk to anybody at all and just want to lock myself in my own world. Just give me some time to think, at the end of the day I will come back to you. To love me is to tell me how much you care for me even in the slightest way—I will surely appreciate that even my form of appreciation and gratitude is to tell how corny or annoying you are, but deep down, your words mean a lot and warmed my heart. To love me means staying with me no matter how messy and difficult I could be. All I ever want is someone who will stand right behind me during my darkest and worst moments of my life. To love me is to tell me your thoughts and opinions about the things I keep on telling you about even they mean nothing to you. To love me is to allow me to grow with you as a being physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. I am a complicated and difficult person. I am crazy, wild, freak, easily hurt and gullible. So tell me you love me when you only mean it. I don’t have time for some franks or what. I have had enough of heartbreaks in my past. I am aging and all I ever want for now is a stable and long-lasting relationship that would make me choose to stay no matter how many rocks were thrown at us or no matter how turbulent and bumpy the roads may get. To love me means a little bit of sacrifice. But I can guarantee you that I could make you feel you’re the best person in the world and you didn’t make the wrong choice by choosing me over them. With me, I can make you feel disconnected from the rest of the galaxy. I will surely make tons of efforts for our relationship to keep going and last. It will be a tough ride for the both of us but I can assure you that it will be worth it and filled with so much fun. To love me means needing and wanting me like the way I do to you.

She told me I broke her heart, and maybe that’s true. Maybe I didn’t break like she did. My heart seems to have made it out just fine, but I’m starting to see how much more of me was splintered by what we had. She taught me to think relationships are supposed to be hard, and now I’m left with a very capable heart and a very profound fear of labels.

I know to a lot of people this will mean nothing but your first poem should be about someone or something that transformed you and she (correct pronoun:he) did that to me. Also I want people of color to know that it’s ok to carry these illnesses.
“OCD” My head was pounding as I made my way to class. The noise in my head was near deafening and all I could here was a rush but once I got into class and saw you everything fell to a hush. If I would have known about you then what I know now, I probably would have stayed away. But when you think you’re in love-no just forget it. I remember the first night you invited me over. How your lips were scared to brush mine. But the moment of impact nearly killed me. Nearly killed me. Nearly killed me. Nearly killed me. I realized that then I may never be good enough for everyone but I was good enough for you. You remember how you told me I never remembered anything about you? I did… I remembered the 71 kisses you shared with me that night. Not a single one was perfect enough compared to you but you said you loved them. I remember rolling around on the floor lost in epiphany of love. The adrenaline pulsing through me and once again the noise was hushed. How good it felt to be yours. To be yours. To be yours. To be yours. If only for a brief time. As the months went by I came over again; we played a stupid game of UNO but it was so nice to see the smile spread across your face. You seemed happier…happier than I have seen you in a while…. You always wear your hair braided but stray strands fall out. From what I could count until the bed made everything fall loose, 12 had. And as much as I wanted to put them back in place, I did not want to change a single moment with you. Even though my hands were aching and craving to fix the misplacedness, they did not realize they could never fix all of you. All of you. All of you. All of you. All of you. All of you. All of you. All I want is all of you… You use to laugh at the way I would call your name in the hallway. The way my short frame would stumble past the blur of people until at last it was just you and I. You would smile the same smile you gave me that first night and I would giggle and look away. You said you loved it. You loved it. You loved it. You loved it. You loved it. You loved it. But now you don’t. You told me you weren’t happy 54 times so now you are leaving. And now I am left with the pain and all the wounds you patched up are now bleeding. You no longer want me but I will always want you. Because though you may be out of love, I can’t stop loving you.
