Tell me something you learned today?

Me?

I learned that Monsanto, the same company that produced DDT (stuff they said was harmless only to find out much later on it’s very bad) and Agent Orange (stuff that is intentionally toxic), is the same one that produces recombinant bovine growth hormone (stuff they inject into cows so they get fatter or have huge udders) and genetically engineered seed (patented stuff so the farmers are required to buy seed from them every season).

I also learned that being demanding towards my boyfriend is okay, as long as I manage to do it in a cute way. ;)

Have you ever called your current BF/GF by your ex’s name?

I did! :C One of the most embarrassing moments of my life! And I wasn’t even thinking of my ex at that moment. I was happy and excited to introduce my current BF to a friend but then that shit came out of my mouth instead. It was totally accidental and I regret few things in life… but that’s one of them.

Have you made this mistake (or has it ever happened to you the other way around?).

How come some of the popular ones are the ones I don’t particularly like?

I’m talking about my artworks… it’s just kinda interesting.

human

bonjouralexander:

I love the feeling when I am reminded that I am human, and that the mistakes I have made in the past does not define who I am now. I love being reminded, also, that there are still people left in the world that still have feelings, that still cry, that still get angry, that have insecurities, that have made the same mistakes I have, and that sometimes we lose faith in everything and everyone from time to time. We are simply, human, and we often forget that.

Lovely knees, scraped elbows

she wishes she has lovely knees, instead she has a lovely
way to see the world.

she doesn’t believe in umbrellas, only
the stars in the midnight sky and the raindrops running down
her neck, arms, legs, spine.

she sits on his bed and orders one beautiful sunrise after
another. she says: let’s reinvent what magic is.

she replaces fear of the unknown with curiosity.
