I am searching for beauty in my final years. At 37 I feel like I am at a crossroads between forever young and dying slowly… The only thing that can keep my alive is beauty… Even in its ugliest disguises.Tumblr (3.0; @mrtenyearsleft)http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/“The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because it’s only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That’s the only lasting thing you can create.”<br/><br/> - <em>Chuck Palahniuk, Choke (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://obsequious.tumblr.com/">obsequious</a>)</em>http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/29477867404http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/29477867404Wed, 15 Aug 2012 08:58:50 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7f0rc95qc1rtgohxo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>July 19, 2012- 37- year 1</p>http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/27558894680http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/27558894680Thu, 19 Jul 2012 12:06:48 -0400<p>I realize that you are using that as another way to hide&#8230; And it frustrates you that I am bold enough to take a chance&#8230; So you find the judgement in that&#8230;</p>http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/27384370476http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/27384370476Tue, 17 Jul 2012 00:01:57 -0400“I am bout done!”http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/26888509788http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/26888509788Tue, 10 Jul 2012 01:40:38 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6jrg9jpdv1r60txoo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/26801412137http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/26801412137Sun, 08 Jul 2012 21:49:26 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6tm9gN8u61rtgohxo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>The Fact is…</p>http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/26736679258http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/26736679258Sat, 07 Jul 2012 22:44:04 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6nk05RiEh1rxlcpmo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/26615909719http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/26615909719Fri, 06 Jul 2012 02:39:07 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6lpl1OiIx1qcemoro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>words to live by.</p>http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/26440774538http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/26440774538Tue, 03 Jul 2012 16:32:33 -0400<p>I NEVER KNEW LOVE&#8230; AND YOU SURE AS HELL DIDN&#8217;T TEACH IT TO ME. #kickrocks</p>http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/26439439894http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/26439439894Tue, 03 Jul 2012 16:12:13 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m583kyGGVu1qcrza7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/26331540247http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/26331540247Mon, 02 Jul 2012 02:09:18 -0400<p>I don&#8217;t feel the guilt that you want me to feel&#8230; After 9 years with you.

Writing a book is a long, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.”<br/><br/> - <em><strong>George Orwell</strong> (via <a href="http://amandaonwriting.tumblr.com/" class="tumblr_blog">amandaonwriting</a>)</em>http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/26140813886http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/26140813886Fri, 29 Jun 2012 10:04:08 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5w2p3OzbW1r0ixdro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://misdemeanorcounts.tumblr.com/post/25476992646/furples-by-aekido-clearly">misdemeanorcounts</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://furples.tumblr.com/post/25468141807/by-aekido">furples</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>(by<span> </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/aekido/">aekido</a>)</p> </blockquote> <p>Clearly.</p> </blockquote>http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/25571095143http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/25571095143Thu, 21 Jun 2012 08:29:29 -0400http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/25528299920http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/25528299920Wed, 20 Jun 2012 17:22:35 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5xmu3l6FL1rtai1lo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/25528163342http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/25528163342Wed, 20 Jun 2012 17:20:34 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3gdq3ieUF1r61upno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I am going to write this on my bedroom wall!</p>http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/25168168626http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/25168168626Fri, 15 Jun 2012 13:43:07 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5ntdpFcyv1rnvzfwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Edit and make space.</p>http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/25167572539http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/25167572539Fri, 15 Jun 2012 13:31:59 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsmrnr51QP1qhu3ogo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/><p>My first love.</p>http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/25167327415http://mrtenyearsleft.tumblr.com/post/25167327415Fri, 15 Jun 2012 13:27:24 -0400
