I wish that I wasn’t bothered by the past. What’s happened has happened and we’re in the present now. Though I guess if you can derive happiness from memories it’s only fair that the complement should be true.
And not even things in the past that matter. Eh. (Well apparently they matter to me. ha.)

Stunning Landscape - Cappadocia, Turkey
The mysterious rock formations and underground cities of Cappadocia make this region of Turkey one the most beautiful in the world. The rich history of this site can be told through the villages, subterranean churches and fortresses that have been carved straight into the soft, porous, eerily eroded rock.
Popular activities in the region include visits to the underground cities, viewing the ancient Christian cave art, seeing the “fairy chimney” rock formations, and taking sunrise hot air balloon rides for a view of the breathtaking landscape from above.

Anis Mojgani perfoming “shake the dust”
This is beautiful, and as all things beautiful, this made me cry.
He was at UT maybe 100 feet away from my room and I didn’t hear him speak. One of my regrets of freshman year.
One day, you’re 17 and you’re planning for someday. And then quietly, without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life.John Green (via xooxoxo)
