Exploring #Tokyo on a day bus trip is one of my absolute favorite activities! It's such an affordable adventure at just ¥500, and the best part? I get to capture stunning #streetphotography throughout the journey 🤳📸 #Fujifilm #XT50

Tolong ini pas Wowo turun jabatan, passport dia langsung di bakar, belajar dari Brasil. Jangan biar kabur lagi kayak kasus ke Jordan ya. Kalo gak passport, langsung orangnya juga gpp.

Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US. He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president. paydayreport.com/brazilian-fe...

We live in a time when “making it” increasingly has a very tangible definition, like having a new car, a dream house, or a higher salary. Well, none of these things is inherently wrong. In the end, wanting financial security, a beautiful home, a comfortable life, or professional success is ok.

I think success isn't only about how much you've accumulated. Maybe it's also about how little you have to prove. Maybe it's about having enough money, but also enough time. It's having ambition, but also knowing when to stop, or having beautiful things, but not needing them to validate you.

Success may be about being proud of what you've built, without constantly needing other people to see it. Maybe the ultimate version of success is much quieter than what we're being sold so far; and maybe that's something worth remembering in a culture that keeps telling us we need more.

What if being successful means having work that doesn't consume your entire identity? Having a mind that isn't constantly racing. Having the freedom to say no. Having time to daydream? These things don't necessarily look impressive. But they might be some of the greatest forms of wealth.

And again, I don't think the answer is to reject material success. The problem is when we start believing that having these things is proof that we're worthy and happy. Cuz if we're not careful, we can spend years building a life that looks incredible from the outside but empty on the inside.

Someone posts their perfect morning routine. We see the coffee, the Pilates & the journal. We don't see what their mind feels like when the camera is off. Or when they post a luxury vacation. We see the hotel, the restaurant, the shopping. We don't see the rest of their life.

Yet slowly, we make it a scoreboard without us realising it. But what if we're measuring the wrong things? What if success also means having enough time in your day to breathe? Having meaningful friendships. Being able to spend an afternoon doing absolutely nothing without feeling guilty.

You can show your new car, house, holiday. You can show your salary indirectly through the lifestyle you display. But you can't really show peace of mind or a rested state of you. You can't easily show that you have a healthy relationship with yourself or a photo of people who genuinely love you.

Cuz the most valuable things in life are often the least visible. And that's what makes this whole thing strange. We compare our entire, ordinary lives to other people's most "carefully selected evidence of success". So when posts their new house. We see the house. We don't see the mortgage.

But somewhere along the way, I think we started confusing the things that make a life look successful with the things that actually make a life feel successful. And obviously, social media has accelerated this. Cuz the the things that are easiest to show are the ones we have started valuing most.

10 days since I'm moving from Tokyo to Okinawa. Not for a single day am I missing Tokyo; no idea why. Life here is so chill and relaxing; I can finally have a nap for the longest time. Not that I never had one, but here I can reaaally have that one nap that feels like I'm on holiday.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

A pervasive myth says the Japanese language lacks swear words. But beyond mere rudeness lies a level of words called kotobagari: words too taboo for publication or broadcast, most of them tied to the marginalized of Japanese society.
