Rec | BEING KINDER TO BUGS

🐞

bugs are but small, fleeting wonders that remind us the world is alive. to them we owe the fruit on our tables and the bloom of spring. to them we owe gentleness.

it’s so weird how some bugs are cute but some of them are incredibly evil villainous creatures

I try to make sure that I pick up snails and leave them somewhere safe. They're so interesting!

BUGS

I just love bugs so much! They remind me that no matter how small my life my feel it’s still valuable. (I also wanted to share my first bug pics of the season since it’s warming up)

Learning to love bugs

Despite my past fears, I have spent the last year leaning to love bugs. Researching bugs and looking for them on my walks and noticing noticing noticing. Things are less scary when they aren’t unknown! The world is more beautiful when you appreciate the things that make it work! To be alive is to be in community with the wild world around us! Bugs are cool!

STARING INTO THE SUN

i stare directly into the setting sun knowing that it will shorten the lifespan of my eyes. i am not yet fearful of the consequence and would rather see the beauty in its full effect now. there is beauty in naivety.

LIFETIME OF A SMILE

the world is so fiercely full of beauty and trust and love and kindness. what is a glimmer on its own is blinding in groups, and this is especially evident when i look at the brilliance of the smiles all around me!! i wonder how far a singular smile can go. i wonder how many smiles are new and then i wonder if a smile can ever truly be new. i dont think it can, and so i live with the belief that the life of a smile is infinite and exponential. we only have room to sparkle more!! how exciting!!
