*plays assassins creed to study for my ap history exam*
This is actually really funny. In high school my humanities teacher told us a story about one of the Europe trips he had gone on with the school a few summers past. So him and the group of kids were in the middle of Rome and the tour guide had gotten lost. They could figure out how to get to some church they were going to see. All of a sudden one of the students like call attention to himself. He says he knows where to go and just start walking around the streets, taking back roads and side streets and within 20 mins they’re at the church they needed to get to. My teacher asks the kid if he has every been to Italy before. He says no, he just knew where to go because he played Assassins Creed Brotherhood.
leaving
my life behind & abandoned my whole self, was I
a colt or a fresh coal afire each chain of nervealive naked & loving the feeling of feeling
my heart beating feeling my blood too feeling— Lightsey Darst, from Thousands
“To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest. To live fully is to be always in no-man’s-land, to experience each moment as completely new and fresh. To live is to be willing to die over and over again.”— Pema Chödrön
“There are a few great souls in my life. They are not many. They are few. You are one.”— Anne Sexton, A Self-Portrait In Letters
