So, in the middle of everything today, we ran across a hellaciously distressed momma mallard and a bunch of her baby ducks that had fallen down a sewer grate. Another guy was already trying to fish them out, so my friend and I called animal control before we tried to fish the rest of them out. When Animal Control got there, we had all of them out and the mother duck quacking very happily. I was surprised - none of us got snapped at or hurt. I was even holding onto a bag at one point that had all of them in it and she just watched me. 

I love how the duck is perched on the guy’s butt

I’M SO HAPPY

Wow. This pictures, this story, is INCREDIBLE.

DONT BE SAD LOOK AT THIS DUCK INSTEAD

98 year old dobri dobrev, a man who lost his hearing in the second world war, walks 10 kilometers from his village in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of sofia, where he spends the day begging for money.

though a well recognized fixture around several of the city’s chruches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected — over 40,000 euros — towards the restoration of decaying bulgarian monasteries and churches and the utility bills of orphanages, living entirely off his monthly state pension of 80 euros and the kindness of others.

Wow.

So my mom and I have been working the same waitress job for 5-6 years now. She had been waitressing years before, but this is recently. Anyway, about… 15 minutes ago this guy she waited on left and told her to take care. Just that. Prior to this she had talked to him about Italy. Her people are from Florence, this and that, and she said she’s never been. She’s got 8 years of art education and she’s working a waitress job. It’s pretty… Sad and disappointing, I guess. Her and my father divorced 6 years ago and she hasn’t had a real job ever. Just been stuck in a small town she’s not from.

This man who we have never seen before tipped her 1000 dollars for a trip to Italy. Walked out, not another word.

…you know. Just when I start to lose faith in humanity….Hm.

When you hurt yourself and don’t put a band-aid on it because you think you deserve the pain

                                            Your body creates a natural band-aid to keep you protected.

When you want to tear open your skin

                                            Your skin fights back, creates a tough skin of scar tissue to prevent it happening again.

When you take all those pills because you’ve had enough

                                             Your stomach contracts to get rid of them

Because your body

                  Wants you

To live.

This is literally the best thing I’ve read this year

To This Day - Shane Kocyzan

After a day of stress which ended in a pretty awful breakdown, I decided to do what I do best and express it creatively.

I sketched this vent comic up tonight. I might touch it up later, but I figured I’d post it (and the amazingly motivating and inspirational video) in case I don’t find time to clean it up and finish it.

I wish somebody had told me these things when I was growing up.

I might have a little more self worth and self esteem now..
