Small, Tiny, Petite Person #FreePalestine

Natalia Rybka (Polish, 1988)

forever in awe of people who pay attention. people who wait for you while you tie your shoes while the others have walked away. when they continue listening intently while the rest of the group stopped listening. noticing your moments of silence when everyone else hasn’t. “this made me think of you” noticing things you never even noticed about yourself. people who say “text me when you get home safe.” people who make you laugh until you cry. childhood friends who keep in touch. people with genuine intentions. people who are soft when the world has given them every opportunity to turn hard. the “let’s get ice cream” at 3am friend. the turn up the music in the car and sing friend. people whose actions match their words. people who make the world feel less chaotic. kindred spirits. the trustworthy and honest. hard workers. good listeners. clear communicators. people who love you for who you are. people who don’t ask you to be anything other than yourself. people who choose you. people who stay.

i do, often, think of that quote from wislawa szymborska talking about love and the inexplicability of some of it. "great love is never justified" etc. and it truly isn't. and thank god for that.

does anyone have the post thats a leonard cohen quote talking about being empty

“BEING RAISED in an unstable household makes you understand that the world doesn’t exist to accommodate you, which is something a lot of people struggle to understand well into their adulthood. It makes you realize how quickly a situation can shift, how danger really is everywhere. But crises when they occur, do not catch you off guard; you have never believed you lived under a shelter of some essential benevolence. And an unstable childhood makes you appreciate calmness and not crave excitement.“ Introverts The people who’ve endured trauma. The people who don’t want to go to the loud party filled with unpredictable people because they’ve already experienced that and it usually ends with yelling and negativity. The people who might have endured horrible things in their past that make them careful to the point of being ‘boring’. The people who know what happens when you say the wrong words to an upset person. The people who don’t tell people when they’re upset because past experiences in their lives trained them to believe they were a bother. (via tripyfuckduphipie)
