i THINK YOU WOULD BE PERFECT FOR MY 29 YEAR OLD SON. HE WILL BE IN SANTA MONICA THIS WEEK AND MAYBE YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO MEET ON THE WEEKEND. I KNOW THIS MAY SEEM STRANGE, A MOM LOOKING FOR HER SON, BUT GOD DIRECTS ME. AND DON’T WORRY MY SON IS HANDSOME, COMPASSIOATE, AND ALL AROUND FANTASTIC PERSON.
I'm Sarah. I gave up book publishing for professorship, and the west coast for the east. I miss the ocean; I love the sweaters. This is a place for some things.
IT'S ALL GOING VERY WELL NO PROBLEM AT ALL
“Don’t get stuck. Move, travel, take a class, take a risk. There is a season for wildness and a season for settledness, and this is neither. This season is about becoming. Don’t lose yourself at happy hour, but don’t lose yourself on the corporate ladder either. Stop every once in a while and go out to coffee or climb in bed with your journal. Now is your time. Walk closely with people you love. Don’t get stuck in the past, and don’t try to fast-forward yourself into a future you haven’t yet earned. Give today all the love and intensity and courage you can, and keep travelling honestly along life’s path.”

Sad Music Can Help Mend a Broken Heart (via kateoplis)
Yah dood, why do you think I listened to Taylor Swift’s RED for like 12 hours straight every day this past week? Duh.
“Indeed, the idea of ‘winning the girl’ – of overcoming female objections or resistance through repeated and frequently escalating efforts – is central to most of our modern romantic narratives. (Female persistence, by contrast, is viewed as pathetic.) And the more I think about instances of creepiness, harassment and stalking that culminate in either the threat or actuality of sexual assault, the more I’m convinced that a massive part of the problem is this socially sanctioned idea that men are fundamentally entitled to persist. Because if men are meant to persist, then women who say no must only be rejecting the attempt, not the man himself, so that every separate attempt becomes one of a potentially infinite number of keys which might just fit the lock of the woman’s approval. She’s not the one who’s allowed to say no, not really; she should be silent and passive as a locked door, waiting patiently while the man runs through however many keys he can be bothered trying. And if he gets sick of this lengthy process and just breaks in? Well, frustration under those circumstances is only natural. Either the door shouldn’t have been there to impede him, or it shouldn’t have been locked.”
