I Want A Ghibli Filter As Vision

"A freedom which is interested only in denying freedom must be denied. And it is not true that the recognition of the freedom of others limits my own freedom: to be free is not to have the power to do anything you like; it is to be able to surpass the given toward an open future; the existence of others as a freedom defines my situation and is even the condition of my own freedom. I am oppressed if I am thrown into prison, but not if I am kept from throwing my neighbor into prison."

-Simone De Beauvoir, The Ethics of Ambiguity

"A fire broke out backstage in a theatre, the clown came out to warn the public, they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it, the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end, to general applause from wits who believe its a joke."

I cannot stand the car's presence in this photo, but to be fair it was an odd day anyway.

"Hell is other people"

These almost never look like the post edits. This is all a sham.

“I’m sorry. But weariness is a kind of madness. And there are times when the only feeling I have is one of mad revolt.”

“The universe may forget us, but our light will brighten the darkness for eons after we’ve departed this world. The universe may forget us, but it can’t forget us until we’re gone, and we’re still here, our futures still unwritten. We can choose to sit on our asses and wait for the end, or we can live right now. We can march to the edge of the void and scream in defiance. Yell out for all to hear that we do matter. That we are still here, living our absurd bullshit lives, and nothing can take that away from us. Not rogue comets, not black holes, not the heat death of the universe. We may not get to choose how we die, but we can choose how we live. The universe may forget us, but it doesn’t matter. Because we are the ants, and we’ll keep marching on.”

— Shaun David Hutchinson, We Are the Ants
