“you’re so quiet” thanks i don’t feel comfortable expressing my true personality around you

“Every word has consequences, every silence too.”

— Jean-Paul Sartre

It’s just safer being silent these days

nothing's better than private life

“We’re just sad kids, who put all of our hope in the fact that putting our headphones in makes us feel like we’re not alone.” - anonymous

This is me in a nutshell. 

Had to share this @WeHeartIt http://weheartit.com/entry/171094058/via/HaleyRGibson

do you ever see someone in some quiet intimate moment and suddenly love them so desperately you feel like you’re dying

#like when they pass a mirror and make a face and mess with their hair a little #or when you hear someone singing in their car with the windows rolled up as they drive past you #i don’t know how to express this i just. people are people and it makes me so sad and filled up sometimes

A wonderful morning. It's starting to sprinkle.

The sun is actually rising now so time for bed. 💤 😴 🛏

Something I discovered on YouTube today was Grandpa Poe.

My eldest wanted story time, but didn't want me to read. (Dad is sleeping but also dyslexic so he doesn't like reading anyway.)

So on a whim I thought, ya know what, grandpas reading stories is always comforting. YouTube is vast. I'm sure I could find someone.

Boom. Grandpa Poe. Near the top. Clicked and oh boy did the comfort and nostalgia of my own great grandpa "Papa" flood my heart. He read a couple of nursery stories from the tall book. My eldest absolutely locked on.

"Grandpa's reading?" He sort of half stated half asked. "Yup. Grandpa's reading stories."

We both sat there and listened to them. I think I've found our new favorite comfort channel when the day slows down.

Here is the channel if you want to take a look. I love it, so sweet.

You can now listen to my EP "Six Songs" on Spotify. It's also available on iTunes, Rdio, Simfy, Deezer etc etc etc. Just search my name wherever you normally get your music from and you should find it without any trouble.

Avast, me hearties ! Hoist the colors high !

10 Nautical & Sailing Terms Everyone Should Know

1. Aft - The back of a ship. If something is located aft, it is at the back of the sailboat. The aft is also known as the stern. 

2. Bow - The front of the ship is called the bow. Knowing the location of the bow is important for defining two of the other most common sailing terms: port (left of the bow) and starboard (right of the bow). 

3. Port - Port is always the left-hand side of the boat when you are facing the bow. Because “right” and “left” can become confusing sailing terms when used out in the open waters, port is used to define the left-hand side of the boat as it relates to the bow, or front. 

4. Starboard - Starboard is always the right-hand side of the boat when you are facing the bow. Because “right” and “left” can become confusing sailing terms when used out in the open waters, starboard is used to define the right-hand side of the boat as it relates to the bow, or front. 

5. Leeward - Also known as lee, leeward is the direction opposite to the way the wind is currently blowing (windward). 

6. Windward - The direction in which the wind is currently blowing. Windward is the opposite of leeward (the opposite direction of the wind). Sailboats tend to move with the wind, making the windward direction an important sailing term to know. 

7. Boom - The boom is the horizontal pole which extends from the bottom of the mast. Adjusting the boom towards the direction of the wind is how the sailboat is able to harness wind power in order to move forward or backwards. 

8. Rudder - Located beneath the boat, the rudder is a flat piece of wood, fiberglass, or metal that is used to steer the ship. Larger sailboats control the rudder via a wheel, while smaller sailboats will have a steering mechanism directly aft. 

9. Tacking - The opposite of jibing, this basic sailing maneuver refers to turning the bow of the boat through the wind so that the wind changes from one side of the boat to the other side. The boom of a boat will always shift from one side to the other when performing a tack or a jibe. 

10. Jibing - The opposite of tacking, this basic sailing maneuver refers to turning the stern of the boat through the wind so that the wind changes from one side of the boat to the other side. The boom of a boat will always shift from one side to the other when performing a tack or a jibe. Jibing is a less common technique than tacking, since it involves turning a boat directly into the wind.
