I don’t know if the first thing we should do is to forgive. Because I know I can’t do that. I mean, I tried. But every time I try to hold the anger in, it feels like the pain deepens. So I let myself be angry. I let myself cry and feel stupid for letting […]

I was watching Casey Neistat on YouTube yesterday. He does this Q&A thing from time to time where he answers questions people ask him about making movies, Beme (his app), running… anything. I can’t remember which video it was but in one video he was asked by someone about the type of film-making gear he […]

It’s not too late to tell your customers you don’t understand everything yet; that you don’t have all the answers. To apologise when you make a mistake. To be willing to let them walk away, recommend them to someone you think will help them better. It’s not too late to admit to your lover that […]

I don’t feel like writing every day. Today, I feel like lying down and sleeping. But I pick up my laptop, switch it on, open this page and do it anyway. I do it with dread and pleasure, mixed into one. I do it because it’s like going to the gym: you only get fit […]

Day 365 is always harder – much harder – than day 1. Day 1 is a joke. Day 1 makes you feel like you can do it forever. Day 1 is when your heart skips a beat for that cute someone you think you can live with forever. Day 1 is when your ideas are […]

I’ve been writing since I was eleven. I can’t remember why I started writing but I was writing hate mail to all the kids who didn’t like me and were emptying my cucumber juice bottles into the drain just to humiliate me. I don’t remember what I wrote but I never sent those letters. I […]

This is a bad idea, always. If you have to be politically correct all the time, hang out with a different bunch of people. If you have to hide a part of you because ‘you’re not expected to be funny, conversational or human in our field of work’, leave. If you stay, there will inevitably […]

They choose a job they hate, then use the money they traded their time for to buy a nice car and a nice house that they’ll have no choice but to pay a third of their salary toward. And then they spend their free time complaining about the job they hate but can’t afford to […]

1. Let go of all the mistakes you’ve made. No matter how serious you think it was. Let it go. 2. Let go of other people’s mistakes. If it’s a big mistake, think about it less and less each day. One day you’ll forget that it ever happened. 3. Keep quiet when you’re angry. Not because […]
