(Favourite Female Characters: Holly Golightly.)

If you persevere, in time you will have an entirely different problem – not that life is meaningless, but rather that life has almost too much meaning. As the scales fall from your eyes the world rushes into focus, presenting itself with a kind of vibrational eloquence that can, at first, be almost overwhelming. Everything shimmers, everything clarifies, everything wrestles for your attention. Trees feel super-real, their roots plunged into the earth, their branches stretching to the sky, birds are flesh and blood souls, fragile with life, the sky unfolds and rolls, the ocean crashes, people fascinate, books are beautiful, children are whirling dynamos of chaos, dogs bark and cats meow, flowers shout, your neighbour glows, and God runs like a helix through all things. The world awaits you, humming with meaning. You are alive with potential. You are not dead.

Be who you are, even if it kills you.

It will. Over and over again, Even as you live.

Break my heart, why don’t you?

she's my girlfriend, she's my nemesis, i want to make out with her, i have to fight her, i must make art nouveau fanart of her

description under the cut

digital illustration of siobhan from sucession. she's a white woman with a short stylized orange bob, minimal makeup and a bemused expression. she is turned 3/4 to the right, her face fully in profile, wearing a navy turtleneck with an open back and holding a glass with a gold liquid splashing inside. the background is a gold with graphic shapes in a dusty turquoise and dark grey, with leaf designs around her head. her face, back and hands are way more rendered in a painterly style then the dress, hair and background, which are less textured solid colors.

“But even when I am afraid, I keep on trusting you.”

— Psalm 56:3
