Make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.

I love New York City. The reason I live in New York City is because it’s the loudest city on the planet Earth. It’s so loud I never have to listen to any of the shit that’s going on in my own head. It’s really loud. They literally have guys come with jackhammers and they drill the streets and just leave cones in front of your apartment; you don’t even know why. Garbage men come; they don’t pick up the garbage, they just bang the cans together.

why do teachers have such an intense hatred for wikipedia 

because it does their job better than them

my history teacher used to mess with wikipedia when he gave us assignments

half my class had essays about how hitler was secretly in a relationship with stalin

IM LAUGHING REALLY HARD RIGHT NOW

Is it sad/pathetic/weird that I think for my life to be truly complete, I need to meet you? How can a stranger with a blog have such a significant effect on my life. It's amazing. You are amazing. If I had one wish and I didn't wish to meet Beyoncé.. it would be to sit and talk to you. I have one favor: say something wise to everyone you ever come in contact with so that hopefully one of those people is me, and then ill know that I met my hero. Thanks for being you!!

sad and pathetic?! this is wonderful!! Hahahaha, this must surely be one of the coolest messages I’ve read in a while!! Your words fill me with all sorts of positive emotions my dear.. and I promise I will always try to remind myself to spread bits and pieces of wisdom to everyone I meet, in case one day that person is you :)

but I want to ask you for a favor as well. I want you to promise me that you will be kind to anyone you meet, that you will be patient in the moments when you feel like you can’t be kind and force yourself to be considerate. Because maybe, you will come in contact with me, and I would love to think to myself “maybe this is that anonymous person that wrote me that message!”.. and I feel the world is lacking kindness so much, and that we always forget, in our own busy worlds, how big of a difference being kind to someone makes. Much love my dear, I’ll always be here for you <3
