The pleasure we derive from sex is also bound up with our recognizing, and giving a distinctive seal of approval to, those ingredients of a good life whose presence we have detected in another person. The more closely we analyze what we consider ‘sexy,’ the more clearly we will understand that eroticism is the feeling of excitement we experience at finding another human being who shares our values and our sense of the meaning of existence.
Alain de Botton in How to Think More About Sex
Song: “You Sexy Thing (I Believe In Miracles)” by Hot Chocolate
“Yesterday, I was one of those lonely people. Now you’re laying next to me giving it to me. ;)” This song can instantly perk me up.
Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, Merrily, life is but a dream.

Saw this somewhere else and felt the need to post it cause no one else ever really tells you this stuff
My mom never really noticed. She noticed when she was breast feeding my little brother and blood started coming out instead of milk.
My mom said she felt and saw a little lump in the shower. She was lucky enough she found it at stage 2
My mom had a mammogram. The radiologist thought the spots were just regular calcium deposits.
Turns out it was triple negative breast cancer that had spread to her lymph nods. Mastectomy, radiation and chemo saved her life.
This could SAVE a life.
Signal BOOST and pass it on. I had a breast cancer scare before (luckily it was just scar tissue…) and information like this kept me calm and collected at the doc’s.
And now I feel compelled to touch my titties… I mean examine my breasts. Damn you, infographics.

Beautiful Lullaby. Yes, it’s Brahms, but it’s not the famous lullaby. Instead, this song is a poem set to music with Alto, viola, and piano. The translation fo the title “Gestillte Sehnsucht” translates to “Stilled Longing”
Here is the English translation:
Steeped in a golden evening glow, how solemnly the forests stand! In gentle voices the little birds breathe into the soft fluttering of evening breezes. What does the wind whisper, and the little birds? They whisper the world into slumber. You, my desires, that stir in my heart without rest or peace! You longings that move my heart, When will you rest, when will you sleep? By the whispering of the wind, and of the little birds? You yearning desires, when will you fall asleep? What will come of these dreamy flights? What stirs me so anxiously, so sweetly? It comes pulling me from far-off hills, It comes from the trembling gold of the sun. The wind whispers loudly, as do the little birds; The longing, the longing - it will not fall asleep. Alas, when no longer into the golden distance does my spirit hurry on dream-wings, when no more on the eternally distant stars does my longing gaze rest; Then the wind and the little birds will whisper away my longing, along with my life.
