Insideoutsideft - Somehow My View Of Beauty

You know you’re getting older when every new person you meet looks like a permutation of people you already know.

Keep your eyes open. This fight isn't over. We will get real peace.

A Room in the night...

This is what happens when you have a shiba + a bichon.

the thing i love the most about amy santiago—and there’s a lot—is that the she doesn’t care about being mysterious or cool or any of that crap.

like, there’s a lot of superheroes and doctor whos and sherlocks running around on tv these days, and with all of them, it’s like, you have these moments where you find out that the main dudes are just. Inexplicably Good At Everything.

they can take down a bad guy, bake a perfect soufflé, field strip any firearm in under 30 seconds, and dance an award-winning rumba, and it’s fucking intimidating. it’s like the show runners want to drill the idea into your head that They Are Cool and Better Than You, like, yes fine I get it, you know?

but it’s not like that with amy.

amy doesn’t care about being ‘cool,’ so you don’t have to either.

she knows how to lip read? she probably took a course. she can take down a runner in a dress and high heels? she never missed a self defense class. she can fold a perfect table napkin? she watched a DIY video. she knows about wedding insurance? she made a whole. freaking. binder.

and if you want to be like amy? you CAN.

you absolutely can, and it’ll actually make amy so much more amazing, because then you know how much hard work it took for her to be that good in the first place.

and if she knew you wanted to be like her? amy would definitely cry and then she’d help, and that’s why i think she’s wonderful thanks for coming to my TED talk.
