Here are the 5 rules by which you should live your life: You must not have anything different or wrong with you If you do, you really have to get over it as quickly as you can, you’ll have to fix it If you can’t fix it, you should just pretend that you have, that […]

I thought about the following while on a beautiful morning hike at the coastline in Bretagne (here’s a video of it I just uploaded):What’s better: Experiencing lots of new things, or doing the things you love over and over? There’s something to be said for both: Making new experiences pushes you out of your comfort […]

We’re still traveling in Bretagne (mostly in a part called Finistère), we should be back today or tomorrow. It’s been beautiful (rainy and cold sometimes, but I prefer it this way). I love this part of France –  the rough nature, the wild forests, the rocky beaches, the beautiful small villages with stone houses, and […]

Give yourself a break! If you’re like me and racing through life, solving one problem after the other, this is probably a good thing to remember. It never feels like I’m doing enough, it feels like solving one problem means 10 new ones pop up right away. When I feel overwhelmed, I try to remind […]

I love getting my beliefs shattered. I have formed opinions after reading books and listening to interviews that I thought were smart and contrarian, like “careers are shit and we humans aren’t built for them” or “marriage is pointless – if you love someone set them free”, “people are wasting so much money on useless […]

I did a bit of an experiment and spent some time on Instagram, which I usually rarely do, and followed some popular influencers there. The first reason is that I sometimes find beauty influencers to be quite relaxing (and I made a compilation of my favorite unintentional ASMR moments and voices thereof).The second reason is […]

It’s hard to admit, but there’s a good chance you know that feeling: You hang out with a friend, a co-worker or you listen to a celebrity and you think to yourself: “Wow .. that person is kinda dumb!” It may sound like I’m an arrogant psycho, but I think it’s quite natural that we […]

What does it take to be a man? What does masculinity (I don’t even like that word) look like in this day and age? It’s a dicey topic because someone will always be offended, it’s either “boo hoo victim complex” or “you’re a simp”, so I was hesitant to even write about it. But here […]

If you know Muslims, you’ve probably heard them say “Insha’Allah” at some point. I thought it sounded interesting and I knew it meant something like “If God wants it”, but I didn’t really understand why they’d say it (and why they’d say it so frequently, sometimes). I frequently heard it being used at the end […]

We had our first mini-vacation in a long time, in a thermal resort in Leukerbad, in a part of Switzerland called Wallis (the picture below shows the view from our hotel). It was nice, we hiked every day and slept in our VW Bus last night. On our first hike, me and my girlfriend started […]
