Before you speak, listen.
Before you write, think.
Before you spend, earn.
Before you invest, investigate.
Before you criticize, wait.
Before you pray, forgive.
Before you quit, try.
Before you retire, save.
Before you die, give.
— William Arthur Ward (via reluctantbuddha)
If the hate doesn't make you want to die

nihilnoetia here.
What mark would you leave on the world, if any? <3
I don’t think I’ll leave a mark on the world. I am too small and insignificant for that <3
how do you spend your days? what would change about your days if you could?
When I’m not working I could paint, cook, play the drums or guitar, do a bit of photography, read, spend quality time with my puppy, sew, write… and because there’s so much that I can do in a day I end up just lying on my bed pondering where to begin :)
Oh hello. I seem to be hitting you up here a bit. XD (it’s nihilnoetia again). Would you like to email? :)
x3 hello, i’ll leave it on your formspring.

you are beautiful. that aside, tell me something that makes you happy on a daily basis?
oh why thank you :) you are beautiful too, i am sure.
I am not too sure on what makes me happy and I can’t remember the last time I turned to someone/thing for the feeling. Happiness catches me by surprise :)
I just started following you after what seems a bit too long of not following you, and boy that sounds creepy written out like that. This is Nathan, from nihilnoetia. Hi!
Hello Nathan :3 It sounded awfully cute to me.

But consciousness is only born from conflict with reality,
But consciousness is only born from conflict with reality, from a rupture with the world. Consciousness must pass through separation and solitude; it is pain, but on the other hand, there is no such thing as solitary consciousness: consciousness is always linked with all humanity, it is always communal.
It is in this agonizing contradiction that the tragedy of the personality resides. A “strongly developed person” recoils from the world, desperately defends his own autonomy, and, at the same time, is attracted to others and understands [her/]his dependence on them …
from Dostoevsky: Life and Work by Konstantin Mochulsky (1947), trans. I. R. Titunik and Robert Durgy, pp. 202-215
