Life

友達がほしいです

今日は、今まで僕がインターネットにあまり書いてこなかった、個人的なことを書きます。

これを読んでいるのは、僕のことを知っている人でしょうか。それとも知らない人でしょうか。知らない人は、初めまして。実は僕にはずっと友達がいなくて、つらい思いをしています。今までなんとかごまかしてたけど、最近はいろいろあってごまかしきれなくなってきました。なのでこれを見て、友達になれそうな感じがもしあったら、連絡をください。出来れば同性の方がいいです。

The Boring Life

How doing nothing became my everything

失敗の活かし方

愚者は経験に学び、賢者は歴史に学ぶ。

有名な言葉なので聞いたことがある人は多いと思う。きっと頭の良い人は書を読んでたくさん学んで失敗を未然に防ぐのだと想像する。昔は私もそうあろうと、というかそうありたいと憧れていたけれど、最近はもう諦めて…

Freelance Vs.dipendente: il tuo bene o quello degli altri?

What is “Toofani” or real adventure?

When I was in Bangalore, my meditation teacher consciously taught me the concept of “having an adventure.” Adventure doesn’t always consist of excitement or thrill. Typically it involves lots of uncertainty, discomfort and moving out of your comfort zone. It…

Life Lessons Advice from an 80 year old man

1. Have a firm handshake.

Nothing you wear is more important than your smile.😊

What I learnt from travelling solo

I learnt a lot more about me.

That’s the surprising part about travelling solo that I did not expect. Theoretically I should have, as tonnes of Pinterest travel quotes have already predicted. However, I’ve come to realize that unless you do…

A Glance Back At What, At One Point, Was A Newly Grieving Me.

In my senior year of my undergraduate career, one of my best friends killed herself and it is the most traumatizing event to date that I have ever experienced. Coming up on the first anniversary of her death, I have chosen…

Faith.

We all believe in a set of certain beliefs to keep ourselves going, running in one piece. We look into our lives, and retrace the steps that got us here. What was that one force which drove us through the tumultuous waves of time and dreary lanes of life? What fueled our genie lamps and we survived even through…

Stories of Things — The Missing Christmas

Yesterday was Christmas. It was a beautiful morning with my little family. My girls go to their dad’s house each year on Christmas day around 11 am after we’ve had our Christmas morning together, and they stay for a few days. After I drop the girls off it’s…

Finding purpose

Going with the wagon of being another individual who yearns to be successful; what is success I have found myself questioning. Working a job that pays six figures in a currency that was once alien to me, would have been my answer a year ago. Because is that not we have been taught? You elevate as…

A Hiatus; or, A Crisis

It feels strange to be writing a piece about a potential hiatus from writing, but to be fair I allow myself the room to be circuitous and contradictory. There’s a unique power in allowing the coexistence of P and not-P. It gestures… elsewhere. Away from the eye. Which is good, sometimes.

Retiring off Rental Cashflow is Difficult — My Journey — True Story

On Being Super-Human

Overcoming Fear and Insecurity and embracing Love and Peace

What I learned in 2015

Taking risks is always worth it. What holds us back 100% of the time is the fear of failing. What exactly is at stake anyway? Our confidence? Our ego? The truth is taking a leap of faith is always worth it. Even when we fail, we learn something out of it. So basically, it is a win win…

Random things I have told my friends

“Nothing matters except for longevity and happiness”

“Obsessions don’t make you happy, they make you sad, envy, angry, miserable, frustrated…

So true! Just do it, believe in you and keep on trying!

Don’t ask for advice from the wrong people

Generally speaking we use our close relationships to seek advice about various aspects of our lives. When we are not happy at work, when we are sad or when we just want to vent or talk.

But are they the right people we should be…

Why Silence is the Ultimate Buying Signal

During sales meetings, prospects need time to think and process what you’ve said…

Just another story

Dating. It’s the worst amiright?

“Putting yourself out there” meeting people, trying to make conversation. Seriously, the absolute worst.

I never dated while in high-school, not because I wasn’t allowed to, but because it just never happened. I…

Holiday Musings

Meditations on the past and hopes for the future straddle the holiday season, as time moves us forward with travels, feasts and laughter. Even in those moments we might still sense the sting of loneliness and fears that may accompany this season. Yet we press on with fresh eyes into the New Year…

12.27.2015…

Long ago your eyes found mine
They seemed soulless, angered, fearful, empty — dark, black and blank upon their exterior, so many have said
Within mine, you’ve witnessed happiness, simplicity, bliss, peace, naivety and giddiness
I stood before you, like an angel; pure, delicate, light and white. Like a…

Telling an old tale…

“Any human who believes he is not controlled is insane.” ~ Prabhupada

1. I am an eternal soul.
2. All life (bio-space-time-machines) have a soul. Including plants, animals and microscopic sentient life.

Some sights of Melbourne

Some snap shots of Melbourne. In no specific order.

St. Paul’s Cathedral amidst the city centre. It is bang opposite the Flinder’s Street Station.

Ha ha! So true. I actually enjoyed my experience whenever I travelled around the city in southern India. Cars, lorries, cows, rickshaws, motorbikes and pedestrians all competing for the same space. Terrifying and thrilling at the same time. At one point, our auto rickshaw got hitched unto a motorcycle and we had to get out to lift it off the fender…

I wonder why I, too, keep these tributes to my awkward dopey years. The mere sight of these ridiculously expensive pieces of memorabilia cause me to regress & regain all my carefully repressed nightmares. Fuck it. You have inspired me to throw these shit-stirrers AWAY. I hereby erase my past and all is Future Tense.

Why I can’t Understand You

To truly understand what you go through everyday, I will have to become you.

Wearing your clothes, watching your favorite videos, sharing a bed won’t help me become you.

Friends

Why is it that we depend on others for happiness? Why are we so sad when people leave or forget us? I am constantly left out in the open, yet I am surrounded by “friends”. Day after day, I look back at old times, when I didn’t have a care in the world, and wish I still had that happiness and joy in my eyes…

How It’s Really Like Having An Internet Friend.

Useless

It’s a feeling I go thru every day, seeing my own mother ignoring me, not noticing me. And one day, you think of it all together and you got the answer to why.

You’re useless to them.

I am in the mood I choose. That’s what my wife tells me and it annoys me. When I was little, and would get fussy, mom would poke me in the belly and “let the stream out.” then she…

Master of my days: Slavery to none

I am in control..truly I am, am I now and are you ?

Taking responsibility for my decisions is a way of thinking I am in control. Am I ? Is it not true to say that, when we are free to make decisions and understand that these choosen decisions will lead us to a…

FOR THOSE WHO ARE YOUNG !!!!!

Being young is irrespective of age, those who are young by thoughts are actually young.

Really beautiful piece there. It’s really touching. The beauty of 10mins that’s could change a person’s life for good. Let’s spend our time making ourselves and other people happy. Let’s enjoy each moment #YOLO

Mandy LoveCox

I was born just after a generation in which parents were creating new last names for their children. These names weren’t necessarily “made up” by parents, but created. It involved taking the last names of both parents and creating a new last name for their children from a mix of the two. In my mind…

Today, this is my reality

I am raised in a very protective environment. My parents were (and are) very conservative in a many ways, not open to change, afraid of stepping out of what they knew. My older sister always was their prime example. She did everything just right, and was good at most things. I never realised the…

Hold the sky in your hands.

You’ll hurt someone at some point.

You’ll also find it in you to be dazzled because the sky was such a lovely shade of blue today, it took your breath away over and over and over.

The worst bullies are my own thoughts.

There are times when my self confidence just simply drops. I dunno if other girls are like…

People looking at their hand

I may have talked about this, but I am not sure and do not go back to what I did here, but this is a new event that took place today.

My new work is in Retail/Entertainment. Let’s leave it at that. If I told the real thing, I would be showing my “Hand.”

Video Game

One mission, electric sounds

Childhood remade, Rusty ground

The violence seeping out,

The screen unforms into life.

Like a movie screening,

I have tried to become more authentic only to find out that it takes me more and more away from the simple joy of living. Everyone borders around some level of inauthenticity. That’s just how the world is. That’s just how we are. We’re all filled with insecurities that make us inauthentic. I realized that my quest for becoming as authentic as I can…

Why morning is the best time of the day?

Now matter how angry you were last night, morning will always be better.

Most of the times, best way to come out of a dilemma is to “sleep on it”. Its kind of a “hard reset” on your mind. When your computer starts responding slow…

The Face in The Crowd

Many a month has passed and yet, 
Not a word I read or heard from her, 
She who said I love her not, 
A truth so false…

Ummm….errrrr….i really hate to go there, but that can be what it’s like to be Jewish in a Christian world, esp on Christmas Eve. It feels as though the whole world closed down, circled wagons, and left you out. I know “Jesus is the reason for the season”, but being a minority never smacks you in the face quite as hard as on Christmas Eve. Join us for a glass of Mogen David

Words of pure gold. They are more guidelines than rules! You can actually be horned at for stopping at a red light, and you’ll be the one feeling guilty.

Shower thoughts

Why is it that people can love someone so much and that love not be returned? Like when did it become such a common practice for a human to not return the love that they have given to them?

I don’t know if any one has seen or read The Perks of being a Wallflower here but…

No Taste to Freedom

The Boiled Soup

decays; since when have we behaved?

This sink hole hits home. Hear me out loud:

“There is no taste to freedom,

Coastal

The morning speaks,

Present and forward looking.

Wishing us well with Windows painted and throbbing.

The stained exterior is salt crusted and smells like childhood.

Lonely The Sky Is

How lonely the moon must have felt chasing tails of his own path over and over again. The screams of his longing for someone suppressed by the ever expanding universe. How helpless he feels.

When you lost someone it creates a blackhole in the vacancy; where the the love has…

Money Talks

You’ve heard “money talks”? Well, it talks, walks, sings, and dances. With enough money you can accomplish almost anything. You can buy better health, a more beautiful face and body, erase the signs of aging, and buy your way out of trouble. Even talent is for sale. With new equipment and software it’s…

Introduction

my blog basically consists of random thoughts that come to my head which im trying to get in the habbit of writing (or typing down) even if no one reads them because its a good way to communicate with myself and also it kepps my depression away. 
So these blogs will inspire you , make you happy, make you…

Excellent. I have learned that one must honor what one feels and own what one chooses. Also, sitting still helps.

Securing your blessings

Blessings come to us in many shapes or forms. The Almighty proves to us how faithful he is. We just have to remember to be conscious and be grateful. Over the past few weeks I have received a wave of blessings; job extensions, good health, better relationship with my spouse. All in all I have come to…

I love what I did in the past, some how this remains in memories. clouded in my mind, ive No regrets for I have taken risk. Forget the mistakes I cannot be perfect. My thought’s aren’t clearly at times I wished it was more define. But how can I put these thoughts & feelings in words, bring them into the world. Maybe I haven’t find no way to express…

Disappointed?

It would better if we knew the story, not the conclusion.

Not every guy is a jerk ☺even those who read.

Thank you for the kind words Andy.

I feel like a very common thing for people to do is base their entire opinion on university on their anecdotal experience there and nothing else. You have to realize that just because you didn’t have a great time at university it doesn’t mean there weren’t plenty of others who did. I personally am having a fantastic time in uni, and most of my…

Music is such a huge part of my mood and attitude on a daily basis. It always has been. Sometimes I wanna be angry, so I turn to Pantera, Metallica, and Megadeth. I learned to do that in the 90’s when I was an angry, confused teenager. Other times, I want to relax, and expand my thoughts so I listen to something that fuels those feelings. And then…

Should I have bought my wife a Christmas Present?

The ultimate self-fulfilling prophecy

Life is a fight. A vicious war. A struggle. It’s us against the multiple forces trying to hold us back and break us down.

It is relentless conflict.

Struggling (emotionally, mentally, socially) against the bland or negative emotions that come with losing a high is like muscle training with weights.

When you’re afraid…

When you’re afraid, close your eyes

Whether a fig of imagination,

Or a phobia deep-seated

Take a fathomless breath and count to three

I believe your willingness to share how you are genuinely feeling and admit that you are human with real human emotions along with the rest of us, shows that you care more about what’s important and what needs to be said than whether or not someone will judge you or critique what you have written.

You are stronger and further along than you think. Congratulations!

It is one of the activities that I enjoy but not doing frequently which is to stare into space and wonder. Time past where I have no idea how long. But after each session I felt invigorated.

Thank you for writing Yann.

From somebody who lives inter worlds

There´s nothing more special im my life then my friends that I´ve been knewing around the world. I woold like like to send them a special message but in fact I don´n know if I can find special words. I´m not so smart to create something knew then I could repeat the frase that I´ve been…

Well. Before its too late. If I was you. I probably begging on him not to go before he left. Doesn’t matter what kind of answer I might heard after. But, trying to ask and got the answer straight away from him always better than never ask and keep guessing everything.

Late Night Ramblings

I’m not a poet; I’m a photographer. I was working last night to come up with a new lead generation verbiage to place in my homepage as part of my marketing plan for 2016. I read somewhere that I should appeal to people’s emotions to get them to buy into what I was offering. Since I…

irah.

“ This is all I was meant to do for you,” he said, gently.

She cried. He did not yield, as excruciatingly hard as it was for him to watch her break down. As painful as it was for him to hold her in his arms as she sobbed.

What do you do when you feel like crying but cant seem to do so?

Try to be the good guy in you!

Even when many comes to you and say out that you are somebody they dont want to mingle with, you be yourself and take the right decision to be with the change. Sometimes a small word from somebody can change your entire life and activities. Its better to listen and act according to your mind and yourself.

Stay blessed. — Noel

Have a Great Day

The alarm fails to go off. You wakeup late for class. You stub your toe as you leave your bed. There is no hot water in the shower. You realize your hair is a mess. But you’re gonna have a great day.

Quick quote

“Anytime you are overwhelmed, go into a quiet room and breathe. Just breathe.” -Hieu

Sufficient.

One thing with me for sure is that I can be a mess, more than I can ever count. Sometimes when I’m scared, I will go the opposite direction. Or when I do something wrong, I’m afraid to admit or accept feedback. Of course I’m finding my way through them with prayer but although I struggle to be human, one truth…

Try to stay away from loneliness.

Last night I am bored a lot and I went out . I really had fun, spend time ,drink a lot , dancing , empty funny conversations vla bla . And then I went to bed . Slept…

Simple talk.

Most times I like to walk and explore things on my own only because at moments like these, I can reflect and have my personal time with God.

Yesterday, I was able to hang out with some people from a previous mission trip, laughing, conversing, and just simply sharing stories. If you know…
