“For fifteen years, doctors told me I would never walk again. They were wrong. It was possible.11 Ways to Become the Person You Love
You are powerful when you believe in yourself – when you know that you are capable of anything you put your mind to. You are beautiful when your strength and determination shines as you follow your own path – when you aren’t disheveled by the obstacles along the way. You are unstoppable when you let your mistakes educate you, as your confidence builds from experiences – when you know you can fall down, pick yourself up, and move forward. Here are 11 ways to become the person you love. Stop judging, and appreciate the beauty within you. – Judging yourself is not the same as being honest with yourself.
To live without dead time means to embody a great refusal, to find pleasure in struggle, to transform every moment of existence into a repudiation of the consumerist nightmare and an affirmation of revolutionary possibility. A semester, a year, a decade without Big Macs, Frappucinos and World of Warcraft but overflowing with midnight adventures of blackspotted billboards, guerrilla gardening and spectacular synchronized global memewar actions. Imagine if a huge number of us start living in this way, turning daily life itself into a form of resistance that re-enchants the city and reawakens the promise of a people’s insurrection. The way forward is through this kind of radical play.

Jill Di Donato: 'Comfort Sex': Is It A Bad Thing?
Have you ever gotten that craving for sex, but not for the usual reasons? After a particularly rotten date, a silly fight with one of my best friends, or maybe just one of those days when nothing seems to go my way, I tend to call a certain "acquaintance" who is more than happy to have me over for a few hours between the sheets. This guy isn't someone I'd date, or even consider a friend, but he does have a knack for taking me from forlorn to very content faster than any other remedy I've tried. Here's the strange part, though: These aren't wild, amazing, did-it-on-every-surface-of-the-apartment liaisons. The sex is good, but it's not life-changing.Dear Photograph
Dear Photograph, I found this photo of my mother’s parents while looking through her most beloved things after she had suddenly passed away. My grandfather, who I never met, had written on the back of the photo; ” Yoyita, every time you see this photo remember an unforgettable Sunday for me.” Now I know why my mother knew how to love her husband and children with such an honest and pure love….she learned it from her parents.

Reblogged from All Hail The Infidel "Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics. You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded.
We have no way of checking whether this is true or not, but Vasilis Dimitriou claims to be the last man in Europe to make his living hand-painting cinema posters. He's 75 now, and every Wednesday for the last 61 years he's been heading down into the centre of Athens at 11pm to swap the poster pinned to the front of the Athinaion movie theatre. Like we said, we have no way of being sure if Vasilis really is the last man standing, but either way it seems likely that it'll be going the way of Ceefax and MySpace pretty soon. We called him up while he sat in his low-ceilinged studio, surrounded by posters from the past, and had a chat. This is a story I've told too many times.
