The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

Marcus Aurelius

Forgiveness is about making peace with reality. It means you let go of your inner resistance regarding present circumstances and what led to them. As a result, you are free to fully focus on how to move forward productively. Forgiveness does not mean that you approve of what you are forgiving. It is not the same as condoning. When you forgive yourself, it means you are being gentle and honest. When you forgive others, it means you are being compassionate and sane.

— Sylvia Plath, "The Bell Jar"

“If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.”

— Vincent van Gogh

the last of the spiky raku guys from this firing. i have always had very mixed results with raku because it's a hard technique to master, but this guy turned out absolutely amazing and I am just so pleased with the crackle on him!!

i overthink, i overlove, i overfeel and yet, i don’t regret it one bit. it’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. it’s either all or nothing
