Black Cat Appreciation Post

You are not obligated to save others.

Yes, you should try to help them, yes, you should do your best, but sometimes your best isn't enough, sometimes your own struggle is so overwhelming that you can't concentrate on others and sometimes there are people who don't want to be saved.

It's sad, but it's not your fault. And I feel like this isn't said often enough.

You are worthy and loved, even if you don't sacrifice yourself for others.

idk i just wanna sit in a dark library at night in the candlelight wearing an oversized sweater and exchange glances over my book to my lover while the rain pours outside and feel at peace with the world

"I think that if I ever have kids, and they are upset, I won't tell them that people are starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn't change the fact that they were upset. And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn't really change the fact that you have what you have."

Stop scrolling for a minute, take a deep breath. Come and sit down with me for a minute, I’ll make us some tea. It’s a quiet morning, apart from the birds of course. We can sit here for a while, we can chat or just pass the time of day. Or we can go for a walk if you want, my dog can come with us. She doesn’t walk very fast but it will give us time to take in the wildflowers as we go. Or we can go into town and wonder around the secondhand bookstores because there are so many stories we haven’t read yet. And there is something magical about secondhand books, knowing they’ve been loved before. Time passes slowly here, there’s no where to be. Remember no matter how bad things seem, everything will be okay. You’re safe here, darling. Stay as long as you like and you can always come back. Chin up, my love. You’re going to be just fine.

You can discover your favourite band when you’re in your late twenties. You can meet your best friend when you’re in your thirties. You can finally accomplish a life goal when you’re in your fifties. Your youth isn’t the only time frame where amazing, life-changing things can happen.

Today’s soundtrack ✨

Hello there, I think it’s time to introduce myself ✨

My name is Sophie (actually my second name, but I prefer this one over my first name) and I am 22 years old. I‘m currently doing my bachelor’s degree in Medical Engineering and work part time at a small café

•I‘m very much in love with the neighborhood’s stray cats and currently trying to befriend them (aka bribing them with salmon snacks.)

•I also like swimming, reading cliché romance novels, crocheting and art.

•I‘d describe myself as a quite sensitive and creative person, but I also love the structure and logic behind science, that’s why I chose this field of study.

If you have any book recommendations, questions, anecdotes you think I would enjoy, feel free to send me a message 🦆 I would love to make some new friends on this site

Also I do have an Instagram Account with the same username, but I feel like tumblr is a bit less overstimulating, that’s why I like using this app

The longer I look at the illustration my materials science professor put in his PowerPoint, the more convinced I am, that he secretly hates students and is actively trying to sabotage us

Or he has grown fond of us over the last year and he just wants to see our faces again next semester
