&lt;p&gt;this is beautiful because it could mean anything. its like they have left you to finish off the sentence for yourself. it could be “let her know right now that she’s beautiful, that you love her, that you cheated, that your have cancer or that you are depressed, but there is one definite meaning to this and its: let her know right now before its too late, before you hurt her even more (if its bad), before its the wrong time and she doesn’t feel the same way (if its an emotion). that is why this is my absolute favourite picture on tumblr &lt;/p&gt;

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.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Street Smarts: A Learning Process: 11 Things to Know at 25(ish)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://swimminginhope.tumblr.com/post/53017605773</link><guid>http://swimminginhope.tumblr.com/post/53017605773</guid><pubDate>Sat, 15 Jun 2013 07:28:21 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>tobefre-ed:
