"Your silence has been with me and I have let it have its say. I feel, as always, the same closeness to you which your silence makes into a kind of speech of its own."

Anne Sexton, from a letter to Dennis Farrell, August 2, 1963 (via litverve)

"As for me, I am a watercolor.
I wash off."

Hey guys, I work for this awesome tech start-up company called PadSquad (www.padsquad.com) and we tablet optimize desktop sites for FREE. This means we reformat websites so that mobile readers will have a more enjoyable and engaging experience on the site.

We’re one of a kind and I was hoping that since I have 228 followers, I could get some re-blogs in hopes that people with big sites would be interested and reach out. We are looking for sites with 500K PVM to work with us. If interested in tablet-optimizing your site, please email me at eleanorriggby@gmail.com and we can move the conversation to my work email after some correspondence. I just don’t want spam on my work email.

Thanks to anyone that re-blogs! I am the community manager, so I am open to any and all questions! Thanks :)

The original story of the little mermaid is that she must kill the prince in order to be human, and in the end, she loves him too much and kills herself instead.

The artwork is too great not to reblog. 

Ok, ok - important expansion: she only has to kill the Prince because the deal was if he fell in love with her she could be human forever, and he didn’t. By which I mean, he was a good person and genuinely nice to her, but he didn’t fall in love. He fell in love with someone else, also perfectly nice - not the seawitch in disguise, fu Disney. The Mermaid is told she can only return to the sea now if she kills the Prince. She goes into the room where he and his lover lie sleeping and they look so beautiful and happy together that she can’t do it.

That’s why she kills herself. And because it was a noble act she returns to sea as foam.

One moral of the story was that women shouldn’t fundamentally change who they are for love of a man, and in theory Hans Christian Anderson wrote it for a ballerina with whom he fell in love. She was marrying someone else who wouldn’t let her dance.

I want this painted on my wall.

I am so goddamn sick I could die and cry and watch The Lake House which isn’t even that good.
