“As a woman, I feel continually shhh’ed. Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah. Don’t let someone steal your tenderness. Don’t allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things. Whether it’s a song, a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep…feel it all – look around you- all of this is for you. Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel love.”

had so much fun this weekend! sushi, movie, hiking, icecream, roadtrip with my boyfriend, and tonight we went to my sister’s swim meet and got to watch her swim! she is so fast and it was a lot of fun watching her :) I miss swimming! There were also a few Olympians swimming there as well which was so cool! I got to see my childhood swimming hero (Amanda Beard) swim the 100 breast and 50 free!
Now I am studying for the MCAT… and I reallyy don’t want to right now but I already fell behind this week and tomorrow is going to be another crazy week so I better get crackin! Priorities, priorities!
We live in a strange, beautiful, and often alien-looking world. Case in point: the crystal-clear Jewel Caterpillar of Central and South America, pictured here in all its translucent glory.
This particular caterpillar (which is known more formally as Acraga Coa, and metamorphoses into this equally stunning orange moth) was spotted by photographer Gerardo Aispuru near Cancun, Mexico

I absolutely adore this book <3
Marriage Proposal of the Day: The planning! The dorkiness! The tears!
So imperfect it’s perfect.
[thanks, rob!]
This is the sweetest one I’ve ever seen. I love the joy.
This is the sweetest thing ever. Brought me to tears!
