I hear people saying i could be a Tumblr boy. I say I’m fine and i don’t want to be one. Why? Because most these Tumblr boy’s are assholes. They might seem nice and friendly online or on videos. But, most of them are too infatuated/engulfed with their own looks. Yeah, sure they might be good looking. But to be honest, looks don’t mean shit. What will they do when they are 60? No more looks, no fame or admiration from women who only liked you for their looks.

The Voyage of Life (Childhood, Youth, Manhood, and Old Age) by Thomas Cole
is a series of four paintings created by Thomas Cole in 1842, representing an allegory of the four stages of human life. The paintings, Childhood, Youth, Manhood, and Old Age, depict a voyager who travels in a boat on a river through the mid-19th-century American wilderness. In each painting the voyager rides the boat on the River of Life accompanied by a guardian angel. The landscape, each reflecting one of the four seasons of the year, plays a major role in conveying the story. With each installment the boat’s direction of travel is reversed from the previous picture. In childhood, the infant glides from a dark cave into a rich, green landscape. As a youth, the boy takes control of the boat and aims for a shining castle in the sky. In manhood, the adult relies on prayer and religious faith to sustain him through rough waters and a threatening landscape. Finally, the man becomes old and the angel guides him to heaven across the waters of eternity.
