amber. 23. massachusetts.

i've been living with chronic major depression for almost 14 years, and i post pretty openly about it, just giving you fair warning.

writer. esl teacher. amateur pastry chef. jewelry maker. artist. marxist. girl-dandy. cinema addict. philologist. in love. just trying to keep my head up.

i'm generally a nice person and i try to be as positive as i can. the only thing i'm really intolerant of is intolerance.

i basically survive off of ativan, espresso, bourbon, and green tea, and i think eating and sleeping are highly overrated.

i enjoy eyeliner moustaches, baking cookies shaped like ninjas, oscar wilde-esque dandyism, jewfros, watching turner classic movies while heavily intoxicated, socialism, linguistics, jack nicholson's facial expressions, dressing up in ridiculous costumes for no reason whatsoever, boston, and road-tripping.

i just do what i do and enjoy the ride i'm on.

not sure what it means but it’s beautiful

i hope this doesn’t mean anything bad………… cause it is pretty.

I’m sort of amazed people don’t actually know what this is, but I’ll take the moment to enlighten you:
This is an Om/Aum symbol, which is the shortest mantra in the Vedic traditions [primarily Hinduism, Jainism, and Mahayana Buddhism]. It is a mystical syllable that’s often difficult to properly translate, although one of the most popular [and my personal favorite] way of describing it is the sound of the infinite vibration of the Universe, the past, present, and future, that encompasses everything and unites everything that exists in creation at its deepest level.
