I don’t think that people accept the fact that life doesn’t make sense.
I think it makes people terribly uncomfortable.
The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people in life recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation. For me, I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And lessen the suffering of others. You’d be surprised how far that gets you.
“Well, what if there is no tomorrow? There wasn’t one today.”

“Well, what if there is no tomorrow? There wasn’t one today.”

Truth and wisdom are everywhere.

Let us devote to unselfishness the frenzy we once gave gold and underpants.
I have a lot of beliefs, and I live by none of them - that’s just the way I am… they make me feel good about who I am, but if they get in the way of a thing I want or I want to jack off or something I’ll just fucking do that.

On cheating.

“How little of permanent happiness could belong to a couple who were only brought together because their passions were stronger than their virtue.”

hi, i'm mary-kate. i initially got on tumblr as a wide-eyed freshman to post sunny photos i took in my everyday life, but now i'm still here on this website at 22, reblogging memes and using phrases like "reblogging memes". the internet is fucking weird, and we love it, don't we? oh, yes we do.

about me? i'm a slacker in college--excuse me, i mean senior in college--and waitress extraordinaire*. i like most people, so that means i probably like you, statistically speaking. i am a communication studies major at emerson college who would rather mediate conflicts than publicize relations. i think that it's not about the destination, but the journey. that's why i expand my brain with the Metro crossword during my daily public transportation endeavors. i almost always thank the bus driver when i get off the bus, but never thank the T conductor. i mean, he doesn't even have to steer the thing.

here's my locked twitter

ask me anything?

*"extraordinaire" is the french word for "spilly and forgetful" right?
