Daily reminder for everyone who feels the weight of the world

💜

Girl I need a hair appointment now

Feeling like you shouldn't mess

With the timing

Feeling like you're dead when the night comes

Feeling like you shouldn't negotiate

Feeling like you're drowning too often

Feeling like you can't touch the bottom

Wouldn't it be wise to just cry for help?

You suffer with sophistication

Tell it like you live in a nightmare

You dream of liberation

You love your preoccupation

Looking like you live in a daydream

You see with your soft demeanour

Settle, cease and surrender

It's been a long time since you spoke up

Or revealed where you hurt

You feel with an extra feeling

Sensitive to the meaning

It's been a long time since you cried out

Feeling like you shouldn't mess

With the timing

Feeling like you're dead when the night comes

Feeling like you shouldn't negotiate

Feeling like you're drowning too often

Feeling like you can't touch the bottom

Wouldn't it be wise to just cry for help?

You see with your soft demeanour

Settle, cease and surrender

It's been a long time since you spoke up

Or revealed where you hurt

You feel with an extra feeling

Sensitive to the meaning

It's been a long time since you cried out

“Our generation thinks it’s cool not to care. It’s not. Effort is cool. Caring is cool. Staying loyal is cool. Try it out.”

tumblr tuesday: goblins & geologies

Hello to you on this vertically oriented igneous Tuesday. Today, we bring you some of the best rock-related content here on Tumblr. Whether you like your stones small and shiny or huge and hurtling through space, here are some good places to go for your lithic fix. Think of this as a small yet charming troll sharing with you their favorite treasures.

“Giant woman of the woods,” @honeyhemlocked​, lives in a cabin in the woods (yeah, it looks as charming as it sounds). Here’s a selection of some of the stones she’s gathered:

@geologicaltravels​ shares original photos relating to geology, astronomy, meteorology, and biology—from 40 years of traveling the earth!

Zürich-based artist Alexis Desjardins shares (often hauntingly) serene impressions of places in Europe on @docileeffects​, while displaying an impressive rock-to-not-rock ratio:

@thesilicontribesman​ is a multi-media artist and educator working in the northwest of England who shares images of local lithic materials and the stories they tell:

@mineralsandsomerocks​ is kind of a pro when it comes to geological matter, having collected stones of some sort since the very beginning:

A self-confessed fan of “museums of bones and stones,” @twofacedgods​ has formally studied geology and is an aspiring volcanologist, astrobiologist, and space scientist.

You are my sunshine 🌞
