When II was very young, 10-12 years old, my father had hired someone on his company to create and manage the website as well as offer some basic IT support. This person was self-taught and since I was very inclined to computers and technology in general, I went to the office and sat next to him at his workspace all the time after school and on Saturdays. Since his job was mostly support-based, he was spending a lot of his idle time learning and experimenting with various programing languages. He was the one who planted the programming seed in my brain, and now I do what love for a living. Today, about 25 years later, his son contacted me on facebook, asking for my assistance as he started studying software engineering @ the university and was in need of guidance on where to start with mobile app development. Now tell me, is there a better way to thank his father, other than helping his son?

this.american.dad If being a dad has taught me anything, it's that some of my worst days as a parent actually had nothing to with my kids... and everything to do with me. Invest in your mental health. Get your mind right. When you prioritize your well-being, your whole family ultimately benefits.
BS viridianmasquerade I make my ramen the way a friend taught me in eleventh grade. Every fall, I listen to a playlist made for me by a boy I drove across a border to hook up with. I eat sushi because a girl who won't talk to me anymore made me try it, and Indian food because my best friend's parents ordered for me before I knew what I liked. There are movies I love because someone I loved loved them first. lam a mosaic of everyone I've ever loved, even for a heartbeat. 29,211 notes >os

We're taught from an early age that sadness is a bad emotion, that makes us afraid to get sad and it puts this unrealistic expectation on us to stop being sad. We rush to not feel sad, but feel way worse. Give yourself permission to take your time and feel happier on ya own terms - - Twitter for iPhone
