Tumblr Picture Quotes

I've seen it happen over and over again: a black person gets killed just for being black, and all hell breaks loose. I’ve tweeted RIP hashtags, reblogged pictures on Tumblr, and signed every petition out there. I always said that if I saw it happen to somebody, I would have the loudest voice, making sure the world knew what went down. Now I am that person, and I’m too afraid to speak.

A #loveselfie isn't a picture or a status update. It's an attitude of embracing, accepting, and valuing yourself, exactly as you are in each moment. It's being one hundred percent present with yourself. Try it.

The weird thing about growing apart from friends is that you can never fully be rid of them. I don't think once about the girl I promised to never lose contact with for weeks at a time but whenever I see a certain book series I'll think about how much she loved it. I haven't talked to my old friends from camp in months but I'll never not like their pictures when they come up on my feed, and I'll never not like the friends themselves either. And it stings a bit when a boy I used to talk to for hours doesn't say hi to me when I see him in the cafeteria but whenever I see a supermarket cake I'll remember the time in middle school when I brought one to school for his birthday and he ate three slices and told me it was the best cake he'd ever had. You can pull away from friends but never fully break apart. The process of growing apart has a beginning but never an end

Question: when you picture Jesus ministering to others, how do you see Him? Certainly not with the stressed-out, hurry-up attitude we often have. Don’t you get an image of Him ministering in a quiet, tranquil peace? That’s a trait you need to develop too. As ambassadors of Christ we need to become more like our Master in dealing with others. Paul writes, ‘Live in peace, and [then] the God of love [Who is the Source of affection, goodwill, love, and benevolence toward men] and the Author and Promoter of peace will be with you.’ When you resort to force, argument, intimidation, anger, and coercion, you’re on your own. But when you demonstrate affection, goodwill, love, and benevolence towards people, God has promised to be with you

I was so exposed, so easy to find, my life so quick to map out. I clicked through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Tumblr, Goodreads. Every picture I had up, every post I’d made, now felt tainted, dirty.
