What landscapes do you feel closest to?

Oceans. Wide open spaces. Churning, rolling and ugly clouds. Large starry nights. Anything big and powerful and inescapable. That’s what I feel closest to.

Tumblr doesn’t exist inside of a vacuum, it might be the internet but it’s not separate from the outside world. This isn’t about fame it’s about acknowledgement. The only reason I have a book right now is because my publisher found me right “here on tumblr” and she certainly wouldn’t have been able to do so had I not been credited for the work I do.

im-sad-lets-have-sex removes credit from every piece of work that she posts on her tumblr, I’ve already sent her a message that she hadn’t responded to but it would be really nice if people could tell her how important credit is to the artists who work hard and deserve recognition

“What would people look like

if we could see them as they are,

“Loving someone who cannot love you the same way in return is not weakness. It’s one of the most courageous things you’ll ever do. You are putting your armour at their feet and you are saying ‘I will not fight you in this. I have loved you and that means that I have already won.’””

I have a questions about Islam? -can a white person be Muslim? -what is your opinion on the faith (You're beautiful by the way

Hello! For me (!!), Islam is about having faith that God will do right by you and that He wants the best for you. Most importantly and this is what I try to live by, it’s by being kind, patient, understanding and charitable. I’ve been having trouble with my faith for the past few years but I’ve never ever been tempted to turn my back on it. Secondly, yes! Anyone can be Muslim. In fact there’s this white Muslim woman who comes into the shop I work in with this beautiful little mixed race baby and I always want to ask her what her story is xxx
