In these last 10 nights of Ramadan, as you’re asking for forgiveness from Allah, remember to also forgive yourself.

As time goes on, you’ll understand. What lasts, lasts; what doesn’t, doesn’t. Time solves most things. And what time can’t solve, you have to solve yourself.

Has it ever occurred to you that perhaps, ultimately, we are all alone in this world? It doesn’t matter the number of people who tell you how important you are in their lives. Because almost always, in a time of absolute distress, you find yourself, so often, utterly alone. The very same people you scramble to for a tinge of comfort, they disappear. You’re left to fend for yourself. You find yourself drowning in your tears, and worse, your thoughts - all alone.
How do you learn to get used to that? How do you face the world being you, all by yourself?

Walking on Water
Christo’s ‘Floating Piers’ installation finally opens to the public June 18th. The highly-anticipated reveal sees 100,000 square meters of shimmering yellow fabric wrap a floating dock that connects various points on Italy’s Lake Iseo. Undulating with the movement of the waves, visitors can now experience the ‘Floating Piers’ as they walk from Sulzano to Monte Isola and to the island of San Paolo, which it completely encircles. The 3 kilometer-long walkway extends clear across the water, with surrounding mountains offering a bird’s-eye view of a golden network of passageways that lead in and around the town. The fabric continues along 1.5 kilometers of pedestrian streets in Sulzano and Peschiera Maraglio.

I am still most comfortable around you. But you’re not around anymore
If we grew apart as friends, there’s a 100% chance I’m cheering you on from afar and that I still love you.

Such an awesome idea. More theaters should implement this kind of accessibility.

Watch: Complaining about political correctness says more about you than it does others.
This says, so succinctly, what I’ve always tried to say about political correctness and how it is not a new thing, nor is it a bad thing.
Another reason for me to love Paul F. Tompkins.
You have to be funnier than you are offensive. The more offensive the topic, the harder it is to be more funny. Some topics are so offensive that it isn’t likely to ever be funny. You can still try, but don’t be surprised if people don’t like it. The offense some comedians take when their offensive jokes don’t go over is so weird. Like, you just threatened to rape an audience member, but the true victim is you not getting a laugh? Bullshit.
You were everything to me. You still are.
