They say when you really love someone, you should be willing to set them free. So that is what I am doing. I will step back and you will move on. I will let you go….Your happiness means everything to me. I will listen for your voice in the distance. I will look at the moon. I will keep you in my pocket. I will carry your smile with me everywhere, like a warm and comforting glow. —Tabitha Suzuma

Smile 笑一笑 世界更美妙

Smile..not because you need to. but because you can. Be generous.. not because you need to. but because you can. Be inclusive.. not because you need to. but because you can. There are many things you don't need to. But if you can, and it helps someone. Why not? - Bryan Skavnak

Just 6 Seconds of Mindfulness Can Make You More Effective 'To feel regretful, you need to be in the past; to worry, you need to be in the future. Hence, when you are fully in the present, you are temporarily free from regret and worry. That’s like releasing a heavy burden for the duration of one breath, allowing the body and mind a precious opportunity for rest and recovery.'

Chinese Student's Commencement Speech In U.S. Isn't Going Over Well In China, This is so George Orwell's 1984. I found the speech refreshing.. I believe she won't be able to make such a speech in China without the post being deleted in Social media and that the secret police would be at her house in 5 mins and would have placed her in jail as she is a threat to the people, the party and the country. Whether she is talking about the right to have clean air or the freedom of speech, censorship and salience dissenting is real in China, just look at the proof as the commenter questioned about the speech's lack of review and approval prior to the commencement is the perfect illustration that thought polices are deeply ingrained that People in China and their thoughts, actions and speeches have to be approved before being shared in public.

Child Therapist Gives Gorgeous Explanation Of What Good Parenting Looks Like "Babies cry, it's how they communicate. Toddlers scream, children whinge and teenagers complain. Then mums say the words 'for fuck sake under their breath before every responding. It's how we communicate. But guess what Con? It's better then silence. A house full of screaming kids and fighting teenagers and a parent who's being thrown every question and request is a healthy one to me. It's the silent children, the scared toddlers, the teenagers that don't come home and the parents who aren't in communication with their children that I worry about. And kids don't drive you crazy, you were crazy already. That's why you had them."

If you Love her, Don’t Destroy Her., I know that you don't love me, you were set to destroy us, and specific me and son. "If you love her, love her with all her flaws and insecurities. She is as imperfect as you are and she only hopes to share that imperfection with you. She wants to undress her soul in front of you and be utterly herself. She wants to be the same way with you that she is in the mirror—crazy, wild and free. If you’re not ready to accept her as she is, you will destroy her. If you love her, build her up because she will be doing the same for you. Know that whatever effort you put in, she will be putting in double. If you show her the moon, she’ll show you the entire galaxy. If you take her to a well, she’ll introduce you to the ocean. If you treat her right, she’ll love you more. If you love her well, she’ll never forget you."
