Iron & Wine - Such Great Heights
So creative, relaxing and…. thoughtful.

Salvador Dalí and Yves Saint Laurent photographed by Alécio De Andrade.
Such brilliant artistic legends in their respective fields.I also had no idea Yves Saint Laurent was that attractive in his youth.
‘Mainstream’
There is nothing inherently wrong with something being popular. Just because something is ‘mainstream’ does not mean it is inherently bad. Yes, the majority of top 40 music artists seem to have little musicality or creativity but that does not mean they all should be pushed into a pile to be discarded. It also, and more importantly, does not mean that obscure indie music is automatically good. Yes, crop tops and high-waited shorts are currently trending but that does not mean they are ugly or that you need to now stop wearing them because everyone else is.
Young people everywhere struggle with normalcy. They hope to discover a sense of individuality that distinguishes them from their peers. We all, at one point, searched for unique qualities or talents. Inevitably, these can only truly be found within; in our minds and in our hearts. I have noticed that people who degrade anything ‘mainstream’ have insecurities about being “just like everybody else”. They have a problem accepting the fact that most humans are indeed extremely similar.
Essentially, hating everything that is popular is the equivalent to loving everything that is popular. Embrace your opinions! Dislike something because it does not fit your tastes. Adore something because it brings you happiness or is aesthetically pleasing. Whether a large number of people like it or know of it SHOULD NOT MATTER.
Although their technical skills are undeniably amazing, it’s their passion that sets them apart from most classically trained musicians.

“I’ve never been lonely. I’ve been in a room — I’ve felt suicidal. I’ve been depressed. I’ve felt awful — awful beyond all — but I never felt that one other person could enter that room and cure what was bothering me…or that any number of people could enter that room. In other words, loneliness is something I’ve never been bothered with because I’ve always had this terrible itch for solitude. It’s being at a party, or at a stadium full of people cheering for something, that I might feel loneliness.”
– Charles Bukowski

“For the first eight years of our marriage, [Michelle and I] were paying more in student loans than what we were paying for our mortgage. So we know what this is about.
And we were lucky to land good jobs with a steady income. But we only finished paying off our student loans—check this out, all right, I’m the President of the United States—we only finished paying off our student loans about eight years ago.”– President Obama in North Carolina today on why Congress has to act to prevent interest rates on student loans from doubling

The most perfect rings I’ve ever seen.
> How to be classy in three easy steps:
Somethings wrong when you regret
Things that haven’t happened yet
But it’s a glorious day when morning comes
Without the feeling of alarm
So rise, and shine
Nows the time to be alive
To stay awake with me a while, and smile
You couldn’t sleep for the awful fright
That kept you up in bed last
But curious shape shift in the dark,
They vanish with the sunrise spark
So rise, and shine
Nows the time to be alive
To stay awake with me a while, and smileI’ve listened to this song every single morning for the past year. It’s my little patch of sunshine.
“There is so much about my fate that I cannot control, but other things do fall under the jurisdiction. I can decide how I spend my time, whom I interact with, whom I share my body and life and money and energy with. I can select what I can read and eat and study. I can choose how I’m going to regard unfortunate circumstances in my life - whether I will see them as curses or opportunities. I can choose my words and the tone of voice in which I speak to others. And most of all, I can choose my thoughts.”
– Elizabeth Gilbert

![Care. verb. Defined: 1 [often with negative] to feel concern or interest; attach importance to something
I’m truly not trying to be bitchy here… I’m just upset. In my mind, the word care has connotations of action. If you care about your best friend, you will be there to let him or her cry on your shoulder. If you care about your siblings, you will make them soup when they are sick. If you care about your teacher, you will respect him or her in class and participate actively.
I’m glad people “care” enough about this photo to have it evoke some sort of inner concern that would make them press a button. But I’m sick of the absolute hypocrisy in humanity. Society is essentially one giant fucking paradox. I don’t know how many people have ‘liked’ pictures or posts like this and are volunteering or helping others (out of the goodness of their heart) on a regular basis but something tells me it’s not a large amount of people. If you care, you’ll act. If you HONESTLY care about the injustices in this world, you will have compassion for others and ACT. Clicking a button and then continuing to scroll to observe people you hardly care about, in no way, shape or form, proves you care.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1ost4XJ541qbc6vdo1_500.png)
