As I get older I’m finding that a lot of the “intellectuals” I used to admire are actually just condescending and pretentious. And also realizing how much more important it is to be present, considerate, and empathetic because nobody really knows what they’re talking about and anyone who claims to know everything about anything is feeding you bs.

I am also realizing that actual intellectuals make their subjects easy to understand, and faux intelectuals will attempt to baffle.

5 tips to a happier everyday: Tip 5 - If you can’t solve it now, the solution is meant to come later. So don’t stress yourself any further and let it go. Good things come to those who wait.. Tip 4 - Meditate. Whether it happens while you do your make up or when you clean, even while you lay in bed before you get up. In silence find wholeness, clear your mind before the day comes rushing in. Tip 3 - Drink water. You won’t notice the difference by doing this but your body will thank you for it I promise. Tip 2 - Achieve 2-3 things that you need or want to do with your day so theres fulfilment at the end of your night. Make memories with yourself. Tip 1 - Listen to music, better yet sing it. You know the songs you listen to when you’re in a good mood, make a playlist out of it and just listen. Its the best remedy for all the bad thoughts and mood swings.

Father, wish me luck for I'm moving states away from where I've grown up my entire life, and im leaving my friends and family and im excited and scared. I already have a job lined up so ill be okay that way but im so nervous. Do you have any advice?

Hey Anon, strangely enough I’m pretty much in the same situation as you. I’ve just moved out from my childhood home and to the other end of the country (am in Singapore, so it isn’t really “states away” but you know what I mean) and I’ll be starting my new job soon. So I know how you feel - it feels weird isn’t it? It’s like starting over. But I’ve found that hanging out with friends really helps - one of my best mates live nearby now and I message her frequently. Also I’ve made it a point to make new friends at where I live now and it helps a fair bit. 

So what I’ll advise you is to make it a point to keep in touch with your old mates (it’s insanely easy to take people for granted nowadays) but also make sure you make an effort to build up a solid social support base in your new location. Having good people around you is really important.

11 Self-Defense Techniques (That Even A Child Could Use)

[xxxkyrareaperxxx-deactivated201]

These are great! These are all really useful methods of defending yourself and I actually learned most of these in my Krav Maga classes. 

I would have to go up against people (usually guys) twice my size and could easily overpower me, but these tricks DO work and they don’t require a lot of strength.
