Um I’m in love holy shit

Written in cold blood your heartache will never be heard. It will only be viewable to the kind hearted. These days are always hard but if you have someone, you’ll always be okay.

Maybe the reason it hurt so bad, Isn’t because they didn’t return your feelings to the same degree, and it isn’t because you saw this elaborate future, The reason it hurt so bad is because they made you think they really liked you, and then when push came to shove they just left like it was nothing.

Today is Memorial Day, a day we remember those we lost while serving in the armed forces. Pictured here are wounded WWI veterans lucky to make it home.

Don’t put your trust in other people’s hands. Trust me, they’ll drop it.

The Moon Just Photobombed NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory

On May 25, 2017, the moon photobombed one of our sun-watching satellites by passing directly between the satellite and the sun.

The Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, orbits Earth and watches the sun nearly 24/7 — except when another body, like the moon, gets in the way. These lunar photobombs are called transits, the generic term for when any celestial body passes in front of another.

Transits are one way we detect distant worlds. When a planet in another star system passes in front of its host star, it blocks some of the star’s light so the star appears slightly dimmer. By monitoring changes in a star’s light over time, scientists can deduce the presence of a planet, and even determine what its atmosphere is like. This method has been used to discover thousands of planets, including the TRAPPIST-1 planets.

SDO sees lunar transits about twice a year, and this one lasted about an hour with the moon covering about 89 percent of the sun at the peak of its journey across the sun’s face.

When they’re seen from Earth, we call lunar transits by another name: eclipses.

Solar eclipses are just a special kind of transit where the moon blocks all or part of our view of the sun. Since SDO’s view of the sun was only partially blocked, it saw a partial eclipse. Later this year, on Aug. 21, a total eclipse will be observable from the ground: The moon will completely block the sun’s face in some parts of the US, creating a total solar eclipse on a 70-mile-wide stretch of land, called the path of totality, that runs from Oregon to South Carolina.

Throughout the rest of North America — and even in parts of South America, Africa, Europe and Asia — the moon will partially obscure the sun, creating a partial eclipse. SDO will also witness this partial eclipse.

Total solar eclipses are incredible, cosmic coincidences: The sun is about 400 times wider than the moon, but it also happens to be 400 times farther away, so the sun and moon appear to be the same size in our sky. This allows the moon to completely block the sun when they line up just right.

Within the path of totality, the moon completely obscures the sun’s bright face, revealing the comparatively faint corona — the sun’s pearly-white outer atmosphere.

It’s essential to observe eye safety during an eclipse. You must use proper eclipse glasses or an indirect viewing method when any part of the sun’s surface is exposed, whether during the partial phases of an eclipse, or just on a regular day. If you’re in the path of totality, you may look at  the eclipse ONLY during the brief moments of totality.

A total solar eclipse is one of nature’s most awe-inspiring sights, so make your plans now for August 21! You’ll also be able to see the eclipse cross the country that day through the eyes of NASA – including views of the partial eclipse from SDO – on NASA TV and at nasa.gov.

About a third of the way through this one, and Tomás is the biggest disaster of a character I’ve ever encountered, but I kinda love him for it.

“You” Your like the reddest roses that has just been freshly picked by the local florist. Your the most outstanding photo of the sun, elegant, bold and looking almost adventurous. You are all of my happy memories, when I fall asleep, I think of you and I am genuinely happy. Don’t you see? Your perfect. Don’t you see? You don’t need to change. I see what you don’t see. Your amazing and you don’t need to change at all.

You Need People

You have to accept that some people 

are not made for deep conversations, 

or for holding you together when you’re about to fall apart, 

or for keeping you from unzipping your skin, 

or for talking you out of suicide, 

or for loving you through the worst moments. 

Some people are made for shallow exchanges, and ridiculous banter, and nothing more, and that’s okay. 

That doesn’t make them horrible people 

simply because they aren’t able to handle a storm like you. 

It doesn’t make you a bad person because you won’t divulge all the gritty details of your horror show. 

It makes you smart. 

It doesn’t mean they are not worth keeping in your life. 

You just have to figure out who these ones are before you’re disappointed, 

and you have to keep them at arm’s length. 

You cannot expect everyone in your life to understand, 

to be nonjudgmental, 

to get it. 

But that’s okay, because not everyone was made to impart wisdom, 

or wax-poetic, 

or speak on politics 

and the depravity of society, 

or discuss how crucial it is that the stigma of mental illness be abolished. 

There are times when you have to get away from all that heaviness. 

You have to. 

You will need superficial conversation about Kim Kardashian’s arse, 

or a debate on the color of The Dress to do that. 

You will need those ones, 

so don’t go round cutting people off and dropping your friends. 

You need people for all your seasons. 

You need people or you won’t survive this.

and maybe the truth is: i don’t love you. maybe i only love the idea of you and even just the idea of love. maybe i’ve spent so long looking and waiting for love that i fell in love with it and you just happen to be there.
