I just have the best boss ever. She’s away in Canada to visit her family and still finds the time to e-mail me.
“i think that it’s uphill from here for you now, you’ve probably gotten the hardest part out of the way. yay!! it’s true, mom’s always know that kind of stuff, mine knows everything about me even from the other side of the world!

don’t forget to thank her for her understanding and her listening, and for giving you the opportunity to let her know what you’ve been feeling, and how much you love cooking! everything will be fine as long as you make all of your actions out of love, as it gives us the strength to keep standing up for what we believe in in a way that invites others to join us in that as well :)”

My first tattoo. Done yesterday so it’s still a bit weird.

“I grew up in the bosom of my familyEight strong arms around meOh…from the seed they’ve grown meAnd I thank thoseThose who kept me companyThey are a wall of arms around meOh…it is they who are my armyOh… it is they who are my armyThrough these eyesThere’s no god above meNo devil below meNo purgatory, no pearly gatesThe worms are what await meIt’s only me that can forgive me andI have faith, oh…I have faithI have faith, oh…I have faithIn those who put up with me”

My first tattoo. Done yesterday so it’s still a bit weird.

“I grew up in the bosom of my family
Eight strong arms around me
Oh…from the seed they’ve grown me

And I thank those
Those who kept me company
They are a wall of arms around me
Oh…it is they who are my army
Oh… it is they who are my army

Through these eyes
There’s no god above me
No devil below me
No purgatory, no pearly gates
The worms are what await me
It’s only me that can forgive me and
I have faith, oh…I have faith
I have faith, oh…I have faith
In those who put up with me”

- The Maccabees

I can’t even begin to describe how amazing The Maccabees are. After seeing them live for the third time today I’m overwhelmed with love and pride.

And they’re also the nicest guys alive. Seriously, Orlando still remembers me from a show two years ago.

(I’ll add the photos from the show later)

Birthday submission of the somewhat science nerd

I have a recurrent somewhat ‘scientific fact of the day’ (this is only a real concept because you made it up in the first place). It is that: nothing is just as it seems.

I find this to be a really important thought for me because it makes me crave for constant little improvements in my life, not to have scientific knowledge make me settle as I see the uncertainty and incompleteness in it, and I think our happiness and pleasure of being alive and our seeking to extend that to others pushes me to make those changes humbly, thankfully, joyfully and compassionately. This makes me smile. You make me smile.

~ It’s not that I think I am too fancy to just submit an amazing picture I love but I felt like writing this at your request.

Sorry to have missed your blog on it’s birthday but I follow it and take great pleasure on it in any other given day I’m online.

Love, Ana P.
