Dante And Virgil In Hell (Detail), 1850. By William-Adolphe Bouguereau

Imagine how terrified the first person who ever saw a whale was.

This close 🤏 to walking into a mysterious fog and never coming back

Can you believe that there are people who live so close to the ocean that they can just think “hey, I should go to the ocean” and then they just do???

“People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.”

— Thích Nhất Hạnh

the fact that time passes and things change and people leave and you can only go back to a place physically and you will never be 14 15 16 again………….. i don’t understand how we are meant to endure that

machiavelli: dude how many levels of sucking up to the medici family are you on right now

some other italian guy: idk maybe like 4 or 5 

machiavelli: you are like a little baby. watch this

shirt that says my childhood drags behind me like a dead body

there is no force of nature that says “come here” like the ocean
