Repost from Tumblr before I started an actual blog. :)
I’m not really sure what I plan on using this tumblr for. I originally created it as more of a blog, because I really don’t have a blog I use frequently, and I feel like I should jump on the bandwagon. I love writing, and on occasion I enjoy being philosophical and deep. My idea, as of now, is inspired by a schoolmate from last year. She’s been doing a photojournal, taking pictures of herself every day for a year. I’m not a photographer, nor am I particularly photogenic. However, I harken back to the original title of this account. I’m currently attending Rice University, whose mantra is “Unconventional wisdom.” That’s the life I’m living right now. I’m working alongside the people who will be world-changers. However, I want to take this idea a step further. Our world can seem like a heartless and desolate place at times. Just flip on the news for five seconds, or talk to my dad about those stories that don’t make it on the news. Sometimes, it’s hard to find hope for humanity. For me, I like to look for the unconventional beauty- the old couple walking hand in hand, the parents and friends who unconditionally love the boy who decides he wishes to live life as a girl, the finely crafted features of the human skeletal system. I find hope in these. And so, I wish to share with the world something beautiful or wise every day. It won’t always be something of my own creation. I don’t have the time or creativity for that. But I guarantee that it will lift your heart just a little.
Today’s post is a time lapse of the milky way. To say that it is breathtaking is an understatement. Enjoy!
