maggie and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach (to play one day)
and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn’t remember her troubles,and
milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;
and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles: and
may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.
For whatever we lose(like a you or a me)
it’s always ourselves we find in the sea

In 2006, actor Stephen Fry received a letter from a girl struggling with depression. This was his response.
This is amazing.

Grown-up quote of the day
“It’s not the honors and the prizes and the fancy outsides of life which ultimately nourish our souls. It’s the knowing that we can be trusted, that we never have to fear the truth, that the bedrock of our very being is good stuff.”
— Mr. Rogers’ commencement address to Dartmouth College, 2002
I love this quote, and I love Mr. Rogers, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out that because Mr. Rogers is one person, the attribution should read “Mr. Rogers’s commencement address…” I know it looks funny, but it’s grammatically correct.

Tom & Lorenzo described the top of this dress as looking like a Lite Brite board, and thanks to that comparison, I kind of like it.

I would talk to my AA sponsor after a bad day, and he would say, ‘this too shall pass.’ Then I would talk to him after a good day, and you know what he would say? ‘This too shall pass.’
someone said this to me a week or two ago, and I’m still thinking about it (admittedly I may have paraphrased a bit)
