Hey there, my friend! You are the best,
life will work out for you.
There may strife or some unrest,
there may be endless queues.
There may be mountains yet to climb
there may be seas to sail.
But know this - at the end of time,
you'll blaze a happy trail.

Just hang in there my cutie,
'cause truth is stranger than fiction.
For life is not a movie
and there can be no prediction.
Your wildest dreams may yet come true
your hopes may yet be dashed.
Don't let failure defeat you,
just be strong and unabashed.

Let's face each problem with a smile
and let each worry go.
This journey of a million miles
is how you get to grow.
To grow into a better self
by acing every test.
You're going to win life itself,
because YOU ARE THE BEST!

Some Fun Stuff

This is where I share something cool to read, something cool to listen to, and something cool to watch! The underlined words are links that you can click to visit the recommended content.

1. Use Webcam Mirror for a slightly out of body experience: When you open your webcam on this website, it shows you a non-mirrored version of you. It is strange to look at yourself live without being reflected, and on turning the video full screen, you can get a slight out of body experience by looking at this different version of yourself. I find it to be cool, I hope you do too!

2. Listen to “Tidal Wave” by Tom Misch and Yussef Dayes: I’ve been a Tom Misch fan for a while and this track of his is one that I keep coming back to. It is a mellow beat to start off with, but the music pulsates just like its title suggests, and it is done to great effect, pulling you in as the listener. Check it out now!

3. Watch “That Man from Rio” by Philippe de Broca: I’ve come to that point in my life where I discover French cinema, and what better introduction to this world of auteurs than “That Man from Rio”. A film that lampoons the spy movie genre with the highest subtlety and respect, and creates a memorable spy thriller of its own, with international locations, chase sequences, and a fit hero who probably runs as much as Tom Cruise in his Mission Impossible films. All in all, a very good time. Watch now!

That’s it for this week, see you next Tuesday!
