One of my FAVORITE photos of my dad and my dog. I miss them both terribly

Because there are those who are effortlessly great, there are those who were born into it, and know what to do, and know how to be everything they need to be so that they can actually help, and be something.

And then there are those like me, that were born to just…I don’t even know.
So I spend my time just trying to make sure that my existence wasn’t a waste.
I don’t even know what I want to be. You know how on a human level we dedicate ourselves to a job or a career?

I don’t even know what mine is. So I just do that, I just try to be a good human. But you need money to live this life.

I wrote this in an e-mail to a friend. I read it again, and I felt sad. Like, separated from myself and I wanted to hug the side of me that said that. But I have no words of comfort for that me, and in essence, I think that’s the problem  (via mazzyj)

You’re not giving yourself even close to enough credit. I guarantee there are people in your life who look at you and think about how effortlessly great you are. I can guarantee this because I am one of them (and I’m sure other tumblettes can back me up on this, amirite?). Just because others may not be saying it, doesn’t mean they’re not thinking it.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” -Leo Buscaglia 

And lest you forget, “How little we suspect, the lives of others we affect.”

On local conversation

Sitting in Backyard Bowls in Santa Barbara, eating an agave, spirulina, acai bowl and listening to the gents at the table next to me talk about how buying tomatoes in the wintertime is a bad idea, because Florida is the only environment hot enough to grow them, but the soil is pumped with hormones to make it suitable for a warm weather plant to grow in the winter. 

I am definitely in California.

Local kidnapping. Reblogging because a lot of people from the San Jose area follow me.

I heard the amber alert for it this morning.

The Three and a Half Purposes of the Human Experience

theuniverseworks:

1) Learn to love and accept the world and the self exactly how it is.

2) Learn how to get over and transend the self and world.

3) Learn how to improve the self and world.

1/2 Learn how all of these are the exact same purpose. :-)
