huh. i just thought 'it's ok to not know what the hell is going on when you start learning something new' and it soothed my anxiety significantly
this card will find who needs to hear this
"outcome is positive in thoughts. celebrate and reflect before becoming fool again"
the world is the last major arcana card in tarot deck. and the fool is first. break the cycle. stop the vicious circle. you already have it, accept.
are love letters still a thing? I want one
i thought (still think, sometimes) that i couldn’t live without you. i thought i didn’t know how to. but i am whether i know how i’m doing it or not. i am living without you.
My favorite child labor victim 😍
He’s so angelic wtf
new realizations and sweeping feelings around old trauma does not mean you're more broken than you thought you were, if anything it means you're more healed than you may have noticed. pain does not show up in full until your being believes that your mind and body has the capacity to hold, process and move through it
It’s good to grow and learn to be better. But that doesn’t mean your past self was bad or unworthy or anything like that.
Your past self got you through everything, no matter how hard that might have been. And no matter how much you might think you could have done better.
The important thing is you’re here now and even if your past self didn’t do their best, they still survived and got you here.
I COULD'VE LIVED NOT THINKING ABT THIS YK 😞😞😞😞
MAX IS THE TYPE OF GUY TO. . .
✶ Compare the size of your hand with his own just to have an excuse to hold hands.
✶ Brush a strand of hair away from your face because he doesn’t like when your hair hides your big round eyes from him. His thumb caressing your cheek before pulling away.
✶ Look at your lips as you talk, mesmerised by them. Even more so after a make out session when they’re swollen and red.
✶ Clumsy flirt with you because he gets shy.
✶ Bring you your favorite candy every time he goes out or comes home after a trip.
✶ Write little notes on post-its and leave them inside your books, so you’ll find them when picking up a new one to start.
✶ Touch your hand under the table at family dinners or events, seeking comfort.
✶ Switch positions while walking down a busy street to keep you from harms ways.
✶ Give you massages. He has a special collection of oils and creams just to give you back and shoulder massages to help you relax.
✶ Never raise his voice at you.
✶ Always remember the little things, even if you said it a while ago or don’t even remember saying it. He always remembers everything when it comes to you.
✶ Take care of you when you’re not feeling well, not leaving your side until you fall asleep and guarding your sleep even if it means to stay up all night.
✶ Hold your face in his hands and smile fondly at you before leaning in and kissing you.

god the loneliness of young adulthood is so real
Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t.

god MAKING OUT?????
LIKE ARE YOU SERIOUS????
starts off slow with light pecks and gentle hands and maybe you get a bit closer. A small neck nibble, a kiss to the throat. A moan in your ear is all it takes to get going. the kisses get heated, and the SOUNDS?? a whimper, a small moan, the smack of their lips against yours? and its so warm and suddenly there’s too much space in between you two and you need to be closer. hands roaming and stroking until they hit a sweet spot and you need to feel their skin theres too much clothing on and just…
making out is so…wow
read literature. be present. make love. make tea. write a poem. cry. watch a sappy movie that makes you want to throw things at it. paint your nails. cook something. call your best friend. learn an instrument. wonder. take a bath. go for a walk. lie down on the grass. listen to the entirety of ur favorite album from 2016. take pics of sunsets. ponder. shamelessly dance in your room. curl up on your bed. make endless wishes to the stars twinkling in the midnight sky. think about nothing. think about everything. think about things so hard that you barely remember what happened moments ago and why you’re feeling the way you do
"If I ever see a flaw of yours, i'd say my eyes are the flawed ones."
Mahmoud Darwish
One of the saddest, hardest moments of your life will be when you are crying and screaming to the world pleading for a sign.
A sign that you should stay alive for one more day, maybe a couple of days.
But that sign doesn’ t come. You stare at your phone thinking maybe someone will answer or someone will text you asking if you’re okay. You search endlessly for some reason to stay alive but you can’t find any.
That is probably the most heartbreaking moment when you can’t find any reason to stay alive when you need it most because you suddenly feel all this pain and you feel more alone than you’ve ever felt in your entire life.
That moment will break you and I don’t wish it on even my worst enemies.
Imagine falling in love and it works out for the rest of your life.
Astronomers used three of NASA's Great Observatories to capture this multiwavelength image showing galaxy cluster IDCS J1426.5+3508. It includes X-rays recorded by the Chandra X-ray Observatory in blue, visible light observed by the Hubble Space Telescope in green, and infrared light from the Spitzer Space Telescope in red. This rare galaxy cluster has important implications for understanding how these megastructures formed and evolved early in the universe.
How Astronomers Time Travel
Let’s add another item to your travel bucket list: the early universe! You don’t need the type of time machine you see in sci-fi movies, and you don’t have to worry about getting trapped in the past. You don’t even need to leave the comfort of your home! All you need is a powerful space-based telescope.
But let’s start small and work our way up to the farthest reaches of space. We’ll explain how it all works along the way.
This animation illustrates how fast light travels between Earth and the Moon. The farther light has to travel, the more noticeable its speed limit becomes.
The speed of light is superfast, but it isn’t infinite. It travels at about 186,000 miles (300 million meters) per second. That means that it takes time for the light from any object to reach our eyes. The farther it is, the more time it takes.
You can see nearby things basically in real time because the light travel time isn’t long enough to make a difference. Even if an object is 100 miles (161 kilometers) away, it takes just 0.0005 seconds for light to travel that far. But on astronomical scales, the effects become noticeable.
This infographic shows how long it takes light to travel to different planets in our solar system.
Within our solar system, light’s speed limit means it can take a while to communicate back and forth between spacecraft and ground stations on Earth. We see the Moon, Sun, and planets as they were slightly in the past, but it's not usually far enough back to be scientifically interesting.
As we peer farther out into our galaxy, we use light-years to talk about distances. Smaller units like miles or kilometers would be too overwhelming and we’d lose a sense of their meaning. One light-year – the distance light travels in a year – is nearly 6 trillion miles (9.5 trillion kilometers). And that’s just a tiny baby step into the cosmos.
The Sun’s closest neighboring star, Proxima Centauri, is 4.2 light-years away. That means we see it as it was about four years ago. Betelgeuse, a more distant (and more volatile) stellar neighbor, is around 700 light-years away. Because of light’s lag time, astronomers don’t know for sure whether this supergiant star is still there! It may have already blasted itself apart in a supernova explosion – but it probably has another 10,000 years or more to go.
What looks much like craggy mountains on a moonlit evening is actually the edge of a nearby, young, star-forming region NGC 3324 in the Carina Nebula. Captured in infrared light by the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, this image reveals previously obscured areas of star birth.
The Carina Nebula clocks in at 7,500 light-years away, which means the light we receive from it today began its journey about 3,000 years before the pyramids of Giza in Egypt were built! Many new stars there have undoubtedly been born by now, but their light may not reach Earth for thousands of years.
An artist’s concept of our Milky Way galaxy, with rough locations for the Sun and Carina nebula marked.
If we zoom way out, you can see that 7,500 light-years away is still pretty much within our neighborhood. Let’s look further back in time…
This stunning image by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope features the spiral galaxy NGC 5643. Looking this good isn’t easy; 30 different exposures, for a total of nine hours of observation time, together with Hubble’s high resolution and clarity, were needed to produce an image of such exquisite detail and beauty.
Peering outside our Milky Way galaxy transports us much further into the past. The Andromeda galaxy, our nearest large galactic neighbor, is about 2.5 million light-years away. And that’s still pretty close, as far as the universe goes. The image above shows the spiral galaxy NGC 5643, which is about 60 million light-years away! That means we see it as it was about 60 million years ago.
As telescopes look deeper into the universe, they capture snapshots in time from different cosmic eras. Astronomers can stitch those snapshots together to unravel things like galaxy evolution. The closest ones are more mature; we see them nearly as they truly are in the present day because their light doesn’t have to travel as far to reach us. We can’t rewind those galaxies (or our own), but we can get clues about how they likely developed. Looking at galaxies that are farther and farther away means seeing these star cities in ever earlier stages of development.
The farthest galaxies we can see are both old and young. They’re billions of years old now, and the light we receive from them is ancient since it took so long to traverse the cosmos. But since their light was emitted when the galaxies were young, it gives us a view of their infancy.
This animation is an artist’s concept of the big bang, with representations of the early universe and its expansion.
Comparing how fast objects at different distances are moving away opened up the biggest mystery in modern astronomy: cosmic acceleration. The universe was already expanding as a result of the big bang, but astronomers expected it to slow down over time. Instead, it’s speeding up!
The universe’s expansion makes it tricky to talk about the distances of the farthest objects. We often use lookback time, which is the amount of time it took for an object’s light to reach us. That’s simpler than using a literal distance, because an object that was 10 billion light-years away when it emitted the light we received from it would actually be more than 16 billion light-years away right now, due to the expansion of space. We can even see objects that are presently over 30 billion light-years from Earth, even though the universe is only about 14 billion years old.
This James Webb Space Telescope image shines with the light from galaxies that are more than 13.4 billion years old, dating back to less than 400 million years after the big bang.
Our James Webb Space Telescope has helped us time travel back more than 13.4 billion years, to when the universe was less than 400 million years old. When our Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope launches in a few years, astronomers will pair its vast view of space with Webb’s zooming capabilities to study the early universe in better ways than ever before. And don’t worry – these telescopes will make plenty of pit stops along the way at other exciting cosmic destinations across space and time.
