it’s extremely important to learn how to be ok on your own. you have to learn how to pick yourself back up when you fall, provide for yourself, wipe ur tears away & make yourself happy. having people there for you is truly great but you can't depend on them to always be there

I love emotionally mature people who don't mind solitude because they befriend themselves, enjoy their own company, can be alone without feeling lonely, and don't need to be with others to escape or fill their inner void.

All I ask for is 3 things: Don't lie to me, don't waste my time & don't have me looking stupid.

Having an emotionally mature partner is TOP TIER. You're able to express yourself freely and openly. They never insult you, they never give you the silent treatment, they never become aggressive or manipulative. They listen, they respond — they patiently hold a safe space for you

Visiting Tokyo, Japan, for the second time. My quick observation and some facts therein.

Here we go.

Tokyo is the capital city of Japan.

Japan is 6 hours ahead of East Africa Time. We are getting to bed now.

Population: The metropolitan area has an estimated 14 million people, and the Greater Tokyo area has a population of 37 million or more. It is one of the most populous urban areas in the world.

Lifestyle:

You immediately notice a blend of fast-paced modernity and deeply rooted tradition and culture. The city has a very efficient public transport system that includes taxis, trains, and subways. Notably, it has high living standards with access to world-class health care, education, and services.

People:

Based on my own experience over the last two days, people are very polite and notably quiet. So, for those of us who love to laugh loudly, please be considerate. The city is very orderly and clean. Everyone obeys traffic lights. There are several serene parks and quiet neighbourhoods, and clearly, people respect personal space. Don’t be eager to shake hands. Nonverbal gestures do the magic, of course, and there is a loud language barrier.

Shopping:

It looks like all the big brands in the world are in Tokyo: Ginza for luxury brands, Akihabara for electronics and animation, and Shibuya for trendy fashion. Well, I will buy myself one pair of shoes from Ginza as a memory of my time in Tokyo.

Food:

From sushi and ramen to international cuisine, Tokyo boasts more Michelin-starred restaurants than any other city.

I am looking forward to visiting the temples and shrines, as well as the museums and art galleries—Tokyo National Museum and Mori Art Museum.

And finally, eish the towering skyscrapers or tranquil gardens. I hope to make a few Japanese friends during my stay in Tokyo 😄

Don't bother me, I'm reading Babel.

Right. I've got my hardback copy (bought an embarrassingly long time ago), my kindle edition (£0.99 in the sale - a steal!), and the free tote bag I got given at Heffers.

Maybe it's finally time to make a start on this one?

This is SILQ Hotel & Residence.

It provided an unforgettable retreat during my visit to Bangkok in 2024. Nestled within walking distance from BTS Phrom Phong, its prime location offered both convenience and tranquility.

During my stay, I indulged in various activities that made my experience truly memorable. Starting my day with a delightful breakfast at The Weaver restaurant set the tone for a perfect day ahead.

The outdoor swimming pool provided a refreshing escape from the city’s hustle and bustle, allowing me to unwind and recharge. The gym facilities were well-equipped, allowing for a quick workout session to start the day energized.

One of the highlights of my stay was the private session at their onsen. The serene atmosphere and rejuvenating experience left me feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.

As the day turned into night, I found myself at The White Mulberry bar at the 9th floor of the hotel, indulging in their signature cocktails. The ambiance was chic yet cozy, and the drinks were expertly crafted, providing the perfect end to a perfect day.

The staff at SILQ Hotel & Residence were exceptional, displaying professionalism and good manners at every turn. Their attentiveness and willingness to assist added an extra layer of comfort to my stay.

And let’s not forget the sleeping experience – the mattress was so plush and comfortable that I slept like a baby, waking up refreshed and ready to take on the day.

In conclusion, SILQ Hotel & Residence fulfilled all my expectations. With its strategic location, top-notch facilities, and exceptional service, it comes highly recommended. Whether for business or leisure, this hotel ensures a memorable stay in Bangkok.

Who said you need an expensive camera to create art?

I think it’s so important to understand the value of lights & shadows, creativity, compositions & colours before buying that expensive camera. I play very often with elements that I have around and experiment first with the phone before taking the camera when it comes to photography sometimes, the pictures are quite similar (it happened many times), but the only differences were the quality (raw vs the jpeg)

I'm using my cellphone to take shots and people think I'm using an expensive camera 📸. I'm using a OnePlus 12 and I'm thankful to @fahad_fuad for the tips on how to use my cellphone to take shots.

This is a usual question among us booklovers. And I never know exactly how to answer.

⁣

Do you listen to music while you’re reading?

⁣

Sometimes I think that those are two arts you can’t mix. Reading and listening to music to me require a kind of attention that I can’t have for both. When I read, I hear the sound of the words and I watch scenes inside my head. When I listen to music, I read the words of the lyrics in my mind, and I’m teleported to an audience where I see the musicians playing on a stage where I sometimes even sing along. So, how can I mix both, right?

⁣

Well, smooth Jazz and Classic Music, like Baroque, are different tho. The feeling is kind of somatic, you know? It’s physical. It’s like the first note sting my arm like the needle of a shot with an interesting cocktail of drugs. The whole music work like a mix of analgesics and brain stimulators and a lot of dopamine rushing through my veins. I relax, I feel good, I align my frequencies, and I enter such a state of mind that I CAN read, work, write, think better. It’s interesting, I can feel the effect of that kind of music in my skin and body.

⁣

But while I guess it all comes down to a simple thought—that there’s a right kind of music for each moment or activity in life—, I can’t say I always enjoy mixing music and reading, you know? Sometimes I just need silence.

So the question remains…

⁣

QN: Can YOU read and listen to music at the same time? if you can, tell me what kind of music does the trick.

⁣

Regards,

Godfrey Tairo

i love when i'm trying really fucking hard and i actually pull the thing off. it makes me want to do more things instead of being self-pitying and withdrawing. to stop putting myself at the bottom mentally. assuming that things will go poorly just drains me of my energy. life gets better but sometimes you have to kick it in the teeth and believe in yourself. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, YOU FUCK
