Being in a mental hospital was better than going to school.

in 7 years its going to be the 20s again so we can bring back swing music and the aesthetics of that era but keep modern values whoās with me
Stop trying to āget it togetherā. The biggest lie weāre told when weāre growing up is that soon as weāre adults, as soon as weāre in college, finish college, get that job, have that steady income, find that someone special, āfind ourselvesā, find that perfect house, get that retirement fund, have those children, everything will fall into place. Hereās a secret: it wonāt. Every new development in your life, good or bad, big or small, will come with its own very special set of challenges. The sooner you accept that, the better off youāll be.

The Worldās Most Beautiful Museums
āIn poetically well built museums, formed from the heartās compulsions, we are consoled not by finding in them old objects that we love, but by losing all sense of Time.ā - Orhan Pamuk
In honor of International Museum Day, we assembled a list of our favorite museums around the world. Museums house the worldās treasuresābe they artistic, scientific or historicalāand in turn they are often designed to reflect or enhance the collections they host.

Today’s charming conversation with my father includes wise words on why most retail stores fail and how I should take more classes in Philly after I finish at Ridah. My charming answers included musings on the fact that I’m working my ass off to be a healthy, productive member of society as it is and shitting on my already adjusted aspirations will not help at all. Also, that all he does is bitch about money so how am I going to spend more of it on theater and museum studies classes over an hour away from my apartment when I’m highly unlikely to get a job in a museum and I barely believe in theater as a societal concept at this point. Like hi, remember the disability you bestowed me with? Maybe think about it before you say negative things.
I donāt admit to being hopeless, though: only the spectacle is a profoundly strange one; and as the current answers donāt do, one has to grope for a new one, and the process of discarding the old, when one is by no means certain what to put in their place, is a sad one.
