Ella. Currently 20. Now a prepa student, going on the third year. I'm starting to like things again and not possess the emotional range of a log of wood so let's list 'em: +Pink Floyd/ Lou Reed? Iggy Popp idk THe mighty ZEPPELIN (i listened to classic ROCK and PROG for a while and then found my way naturally to the beatles and the beach boys. Still, my nerves are going haywire these days, so I'm binging anime soundtracks and ambient shit. I'm more religious than spiritual. I wanna get the fuck out of here. I lOVE CINEMA

Not taking any chances

I scrolled past this and the guilt was too much

[neverhadatako]

people who preach about the studying aesthetic piss me the fuck off. I mean yeah, your taking nice pictures of your “messy” notes in the soft sunset glow may be motivational, but it’s dishonest in every single possible way and a far cry from the awful reality of a student beating their head against the wall at 2am in the morning becAUSE THEY CAN’T SOLVE THE MOST BASIC SHIT IN THEIR LINEAR ALGEBRA PRACTICE SHEETS. FUCK YOUR AESTHETIC.

moody

if i could rewind back time. if i could go back 3 years in time. just to fix the one split second decision that is fucking me time and time again.

i’m not so eloquent anymore. my gift with words, gone. my time is spent on wishing things away. this post seems so crummy now that i look at it. english isn’t my first language, but i was always better at expressing myself with it than my native tongue. 

i can’t muster any enthusiasm for anything anymore. reason and emotion are in eternal conflict inside me. i say that i must be strong, yet i crumble away at the slightest trigger. not in my wildest imagination could i have predicted that i’d wind up as this whiny, self-loathing, emotional, pathetic wreck of a human being.

maybe i’ll be better at the month’s turn, when i settle in. maybe i’ll be better in a week. heck i know i’ll be better in  hours time but i’ll always come back to the same self destructive state.

only i can help me. please, me, please, fucking grow a backbone you stupid fuck.

I WANT TO believe :(

[studyblr]

you can do this. stop sabotaging yourself and your dreams. there will be risks, there will be stress, but go on and actually pursue what you want to do. you will not regret having tried, all things considered. self-doubt can destroy so much of your life. don’t let it, please.

Stop forcing your liberal agenda down my throat. I know that I can NOT read your shit books, but I've invested enough time and energy into them as is and I hate being bombarded every two seconds with an unconventional ship

[neverhadatako]

I want someone to discuss my bitterness and hate with. Somehow, the amount of anger I've been harboring these days is giving me the illusion of superiority.

I have never seen anything more touching and inspiring than those photos. never ever. I hardly can put my emotions into words~

P.S. searching for the genius author of those pictures~

P.P.S. so, the author is found (thanks to sshawnsamuell) and it’s Seb Janiak

So you want to start a martial art

I frequently get asked by people interested in martial arts, “where do I start?” TV and movies don’t paint a useful picture, and our culture has an incredibly unhealthy relationship with violence. If you’re completely new to this stuff, it can be pretty overwhelming. I do think that martial arts can be a very helpful activity for most people, and here I’ll outline a basic guide to what different kinds of martial arts offer and what you should look for when seeking quality instruction. 

I’ve been a martial artist for 25 years in multiple styles and taught for 10, I’ve travelled quite a lot and have had the privilege to work with some excellent people. I hope I can provide some useful advice.

Quick FAQ:

I’m never going to fight someone, what’s the point of this? In many styles, the main benefits are physical and psychological health, with self-defense being a useful by-product. It’s all about conflict resolution, violent or otherwise.

What styles do you know? Soo Bahk Do/Tang Soo Do, Karate, Northern Shaolin Longfist, Bajiquan, Xingyiquan, Liang & Cheng-style Baguazhang

Ever been in a real fight? I’ve been in three street fights in my life. While I “won” all of them without getting seriously harmed, I don’t recommend it.

What’s the best style for athletic fitness? Shaolin Kung Fu, Brazillian Jiu-jitsu, Wushu, any Korean style with kicks (Soo Bahk Do, Tae Kwon Do, Tang Soo Do, etc.)

What’s the best if I don’t like getting hit/don’t want to hit people? Taijiquan (Tai Chi), Aikido

What’s good for learning self-defense very quickly? Krav Maga, Kenpo, Jiu-jitsu

Are belts, uniforms, or ranks important? This depends on the style. Some systems need more structure than others.

What’s best for health and longevity (and easier on the body)? Taijiquan (Tai Chi), Baguazhang

What if I just want to hit things really hard and explode them? Xingyiquan, Bajiquan, Goju-ryu Karate

No style is “better” than another, they just offer different things. If you don’t know what you’re looking for, or want more information, I’ve put together three basic approaches martial arts can take:
