CURRENT MISSION

"The future has yet to be made. Let us make it as beautifully as we can"

ABOUT ME

My name is Cailin. I love words- writing them and reading them (I'm a writing major in college at the moment). I just got back from a 3 month trip to Europe. I love sunflowers, zoos, serendipity, public transport, and food of all kinds.

PHILOSOPHY

"The most important thing I learned on Tralfamadore was that when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past, so it is very silly for people to cry at his funeral. All moments, past, present and future, always have existed, always will exist. The Tralfamadorians can look at all the different moments just that way we can look at a stretch of the Rocky Mountains, for instance. They can see how permanent all the moments are, and they can look at any moment that interests them. It is just an illusion we have here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever." - Kurt Vonnegut
