I consider myself an observer of the universe and every day I try to find the beauty in the world around me. I always try to remember how lucky I am.  I’m constantly attempting to improve myself, because as humans we are always evolving and growing. That’s part of the beauty of being alive.

“And I think to a lot of people, it feels like this is a big messy gray world and at least there are some sharp distinctions. Like the distinctions between genders, and sexual orientation, and those are just lines that shouldn’t— those should always be hard lines. But saying that that simplicity is natural is idiotic because the most natural thing in the world is complexity. And gender and sexual orientation are proven over and over again to not be firm lines. The whole world is gray, and if you just appreciate that— if you understand it and appreciate it, then it’s beautiful.” </description><title>never stop learning</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @worldgrowsold)</generator><link>http://worldgrowsold.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_meizfinCoz1qe4vldo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://worldgrowsold.tumblr.com/post/50998677562</link><guid>http://worldgrowsold.tumblr.com/post/50998677562</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 13:12:16 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/92d41a92afd1bbaf6ba34fc9eadadd68/tumblr_mn2f5syxAe1qg0145o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://worldgrowsold.tumblr.com/post/50971236534</link><guid>http://worldgrowsold.tumblr.com/post/50971236534</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 01:32:02 -0400</pubDate><category>the last two sentences i cracked up</category></item><item><title>thelingerieaddict:

&lt;p&gt;GREAT friends too! Great people! I&amp;#8217;m just not good at keeping people close to me, or letting them get close to me in the first place.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are way too many people who I think are really great and who I&amp;#8217;d love to get to know better and get close to. The problem is I hang out with the people I hang out with SOMETIMES. There&amp;#8217;s no one that I hang out with consistently anymore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And most of the time I like that, I like not hanging out with one single person or group of people every single day. I did that with Ashley Houston in 8th grade so I guess I&amp;#8217;m kind of over that scene. But I&amp;#8217;m also at the polar opposite of that spectrum now- even if I want to hang out with someone more than once, I don&amp;#8217;t.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I judge people too quickly I think. I assume any good friendship is going to turn into a BEST friendship (I know it&amp;#8217;s stupid that I still keep those distinctions in my head, they&amp;#8217;re so arbitrary) and I guess I subconsciously resist them? Good friendships. I resist good solid friendships with really great people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m just talented at keeping myself from things that are good for me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But I am trying to be better :)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://worldgrowsold.tumblr.com/post/50887244937</link><guid>http://worldgrowsold.tumblr.com/post/50887244937</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 May 2013 01:15:00 -0400</pubDate><category>i think it's bedtime</category><category>personal</category><category>me</category></item><item><title>"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated..."</title><description>“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made….”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;The Great Gatsby by F.

&lt;p&gt;The oldest person alive was born on April 19, 1897, meaning that April 18th, 1897 was approximately the last time the Earth was inhabited by an entirely different set of people and if you don’t think that’s the realist shit ever then you can get right on outta town.&lt;/p&gt;

A universe of ineffable gaudiness spun itself out in his brain while the clock ticked on the wash-stand and the moon soaked with wet light his tangled clothes upon the floor. Each night he added to the pattern of his fancies until drowsiness closed down upon some vivid scene with an oblivious embrace. For a while these reveries provided an outlet for his imagination; they were a satisfactory hint of the unreality of reality, a promise that the rock of the world was founded securely on a fairy’s wing.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;The Great Gatsby by F.
