&lt;p&gt;“Beware of Artists” - Actual poster issued by Senator Joseph McCarthy in 1950s, at height of the red scare.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My absolute favorite poster as of now. &lt;/p&gt;

You can see very clearly two..."</title><description>“&lt;p&gt;This is the thing: When you hit 28 or 30, everything begins to divide. You can see very clearly two kinds of people. On one side, people who have used their 20s to learn and grow, to find … themselves and their dreams, people who know what works and what doesn’t, who have pushed through to become real live adults. Then there’s the other kind, who are hanging onto college, or high school even, with all their might. They’ve stayed in jobs they hate, because they’re too scared to get another one. They’ve stayed with men or women who are good but not great, because they don’t want to be lonely. … they mean to develop intimate friendships, they mean to stop drinking like life is one big frat party. But they don’t do those things, so they live in an extended adolescence, no closer to adulthood than when they graduated.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Don’t be like that. Don’t get stuck. Move, travel, take a class, take a risk. There is a season for wildness and a season for settledness, and this is neither. This season is about becoming. Don’t lose yourself at happy hour, but don’t lose yourself on the corporate ladder either. Stop every once in a while and go out to coffee or climb in bed with your journal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ask yourself some good questions like: “Am I proud of the life I’m living? What have I tried this month? … Do the people I’m spending time with give me life, or make me feel small? Is there any brokenness in my life that’s keeping me from moving forward?”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now is your time. Walk closely with people you love, and with people who believe … life is a grand adventure. Don’t get stuck in the past, and don’t try to fast-forward yourself into a future you haven’t yet earned. Give today all the love and intensity and courage you can, and keep traveling honestly along life’s path.&lt;/p&gt;”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://m.relevantmagazine.com/life/whole-life/features/25956-11-things-to-know-at-25ish"&gt;Relevant magazine&lt;/a&gt; (via &lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://charliebravo.tumblr.com/"&gt;charliebravo&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://amydz.tumblr.com/post/39404463948</link><guid>http://amydz.tumblr.com/post/39404463948</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jan 2013 15:34:12 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4edz5Y2od1rw0ogxo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://amydz.tumblr.com/post/39404359935</link><guid>http://amydz.tumblr.com/post/39404359935</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jan 2013 15:32:57 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>This song sums things up.

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saturday Night Live 36x12&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;“When you talk about guns you always hear a lot about the Second Amendment and the Founding Fathers, and what they would say if they were here. Well, I for one think that if the Founding Fathers were here today, they would be super freaked out by cars. You can talk to them all you want about the Second Amendment, and they would just yell, ‘What are all these metal beasts doing rolling down the thoroughfare?’ And you’d tell them, ‘Those are cars’. And then you’d try to talk to them about militias and they would scream, ‘How can you speak of militias when steel dragons fly through the sky?’ And you’d say, ‘Those are airplanes.’ But even if they could wrap their heads around that they would eventually ask, ‘Why are all the slaves out?’ And they would think that. You can groan all you want, but they would think that.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;And yes, the Founding Fathers wanted you to have the right to bear arms, but the guys who wrote that would pee through all eight layers of their pants if they saw what guns are now. In 1787 shooting a bullet was slightly faster than throwing one. If you wanted to be bulletproof in 1787 you put on a heavy coat. So with that in mind, I’m all about Americans having guns &lt;strong&gt;as long as they’re the muskets from 1787 that take forever to load.&lt;/strong&gt;”&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I said the same thing. Almost.&lt;/p&gt;
