do u ever realise that you’re gonna be an adult for the rest of your life

There are so many other words in the english language and you just had to go and say these

Reminds me of the 90 year-old woman who was in my Women of Grace bible study. She was elegant and charming, still lived on her own and her entire wardrobe consisted of clothes that she had sewn herself. She sheepishly admitted to us that she often stayed awake into the early hours of the morning because she was too engrossed in her books - which happened to be fairy tales.

My heart 🖤

I know I told this story before but last year I was having complications with a surgery and I just broke down in a public place and I was trying to gather myself, sitting and leaning on a wall when this girl in cowboy boots approached me and sat down and she asked what was wrong and I told her it was medical issues and she said “I understand, I have to have my foot amputated next week” and it shocked me out of crying and I was like “wow that sucks!” And she said “yeah.” And then she just touched my arm so tenderly and told me “I promise you that this problem will have its place, and everything is going to work out.” And the way she said it just made me really believe her. She said. “We’re just gonna have to cowgirl up.” And then she stood up and walked away and I’d call that a genuine encounter with an angel but the truth is there is a lot of goodness right here on earth in humanity and it’s shining and pure.

Okay but “this problem will have its place” is genuinely inspiring

THAT REALLY STRUCK ME because I’ve always hated the tired rhetoric of “this happened for a reason” and this feels like a more genuine, comforting take on that. Not “it happened for a reason,” but “this will find its spot in your life and your future that it fits into in a way that will eventually work out even though it sucks that it happened.” Love that.

This is bad news. Nature abhors a vacuum.

This is also hilarious because the Tudor portraits are upstairs on like the third floor so that fox also had to go up the stationary escalators long story short he was on A Mission

He knows something

He’s the reincarnation of either one of the rulers or their painters.
