NASA has released new images of Jupiter, taken by the Juno Spacecraft.

a list of simple yet beautiful things to live for:

“how do you walk around in skin that isn’t yours? or maybe it is- you don’t remember. you put on so many many thing this morning other than your clothes: shame & smiles & names & beliefs & maybe even skin that doesn’t settle against your bones in belonging. what does it mean to not be yourself? and does it make you a pretender? or does it make you a survivor?”

“Stop cringing — at your future, at your failure, at yourself in the mirror — and stand up and look directly at who you are. Not who you should’ve been, but who you are now. Let that person in. Let her be as mediocre and wrong and shameful and sad and miserable and brilliant and hilarious as she wants to be, because she knows exactly what you need to feel good. She has plans for you. She wants to show you what comes next. She wants to take you into the future you’re dreading and say, “See? You never would’ve imagined this.”
