The world is a weird place.

Here are three things I like.

[edited on Tuesday, May 3 to correct the MLK quote]

Quote by Martin Luther King Jr. 

"Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."


"Prince Harry, in a suit, holding a puppy."
(For aesthetically-pleasing comic relief during these serious times.)

Day 5: A book you love.
John Irving's "A Prayer For Owen Meany" 

If you haven't read it, do. I recommend it to everyone. It's both weird and conventional. The characters are real, it makes me laugh out loud, and it says meaningful stuff about growing up, family, faith, friendship, war, and the supernatural.

If I was weird I'd blow up the Harry picture and put it above my bed to stare at while I went to sleep and when I woke up. Good thing I'm not weird

for about 25 seconds, i thought you said "the harry potter picture" and i was really concerned.

good thing we're not weird.
