Actually, Growing Up Is Feeling Like I Turned Sixteen Two Days Ago. I’ve Been Eighteen For Years. Fifteen

1 Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy,

whose trust, ever childlike, no cares could destroy:

Be there at our waking, and give us, we pray,

your bliss in our hearts, Lord, at the break of the day.

2 Lord of all eagerness, Lord of all faith,

whose strong hands were skilled at the plane and the lathe:

Be there at our labors, and give us, we pray,

your strength in our hearts, Lord, at the noon of the day.

3 Lord of all kindliness, Lord of all grace,

your hands swift to welcome, your arms to embrace:

Be there at our homing, and give us, we pray,

your love in our hearts, Lord, at the eve of the day.

4 Lord of all gentleness, Lord of all calm,

whose voice is contentment, whose presence is balm:

Be there at our sleeping, and give us, we pray,

your peace in our hearts, Lord, at the end of the day.

- Jan Struther (1931)

theres something about being disabled and needing to sit down constantly in public spaces that makes you notice how often benches are put up as tributes and memorials. and before i hit an age where i really started to need them as frequently i think i never fully understood the sentiment but now its become very endearing to me. a bit of relief and care for you in the name of someone who offered us the same… i dont think i had a point with this post but i hope everyone thats been memorialized as such knows how loved they were to become synonymous with respite even to total strangers

i need 40yo me come from the future right fucking now and say don't worry wait a little longer it's gonna be okay you'll find your place

they need to make a pocket dimension you can hide in where time doesn't pass and everything is soft

Death must be so beautiful.

To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence.

To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.

- Oscar Wilde

I would not wish any companion in the world but you. — William Shakespeare

There is no better feeling than sitting in your bed with your cats lying next to you.

They are just completely content and are happily snoozing away, and you are slowly losing the feeling in your legs because you can't move, but it's okay because you get to feel the love. <3
