This is how to NAIL life… Just be in your own zone, happy to do whatever you do, regardless of what people think of it (as long as you know, you’re not hurting them in some way). That is the lead singer of The Similou doing exactly that. Just doing what he does. And freaking NAILING IT (and all in…
There’s nothing more absurd, while being amazing at the same time, as love. But the closest thing is art. And there aren’t any other things we dive into, embark upon blindly or get completely swept away by. But nothing connects us to each other than those two things. And love (and break up) songs do both at the same time. Watch this: How absurd…
How can there be 68,000,000,000,021 love songs (and even ones where the guy says he’ll ‘jump in front of a train for ya‘) in a world where people still find making love work at best a mystery, and at worst, a labour? Because there’s only 2 ways we can truly come close to knowing what it’s like to be someone…
Think deep. What’s the one, THE ONE thing that drives you most? That one thing, ambition, goal, dream or wish within your heart, that when you think of doing, chasing or just going for makes you feel alive, and your heart –that thunder– thump like nothing else? It could be a dream, some fire that you can’t put out… it could…
Unless you have split personality disorder, there’s probably never ever a time when you look at yourself in the mirror (or talk to yourself) and truly want yourself. You know, actually look at yourself and desire to be with you, intimately. (In case you do do that though, I can tell you now, you don’t need to: You’ve got you! You are…
If you’ve got water, oxygen to breathe, some shelter to maintain your body temperature, and some sort of food to get nutrients from (or dirt.) you’re good. If you’ve got existence, you’ve got what you need (everything else in life is a bonus). Think of all the people who don’t have it anymore, over the course of history, and you…
Once you die, that’s it. You (most likely) don’t have to deal with it. But there is nothing that sucks more than the death of someone you love. At least when you die, you’re at peace. But when a family member dies, it is the closeness to them that makes it the suckiest thing that can happen. But it happens…
Frida Kahlo suffered with polio as a child and then with disabling injuries as an adult following a traffic accident. Yet, despite all her trials she managed to capture the colour and life that was present in her (despite her obstacles) and in life (as well as in Mexico). The Broken Column is a clear window into what it was like being,…
If someone’s decisions seems odd or completely understandable to you, they’re probably a no-brainer to them. And even if you think you do understand the motivations and reasons for their decisions or what they do, you probably only know a part of the picture. Natasha in Tolstoy’s War and Peace is misunderstood, though she had every right, in her mind (the mind…
Do other people sometimes act weird according to you? And other times is it quite expected? The only thing unites (or divides) you and those people may be the what they do, but it may perhaps in no way at all be the why. Think about your entire life up until this point… Think about every single thing that’s happened, and…
