What’s It Like To Live In Johannesburg, South Africa

Johannesburg

I wake up in a house that looks, from the outside, like it belongs in a lifestyle magazine. High walls, electric fencing, security cameras tucked into the corners. It’s quiet, almost too quiet, like the world is happening somewhere else. The street outside is empty. Nobody walks unless they have to.

Before I leave, there’s a routine I don’t even think about anymore. Gates locked. Alarm off. Quick scan of the street. You don’t drift through your morning here. You stay switched on.

What Are the Downside of Living In Japan?

downsides of living in japan

Lots of mindless, pointless paperwork for everything. If you want a new phone contract, for example, come back in two weeks because the phone company had to contact the manager of the branch, who has to contact the district manager, who has to contact the regional manager, who has to contact the president of the company to approve it, and all of them have to hanko (sign via a special stamp) the documents approving you. (This may be slightly exaggerated, but only slightly.)

“My in-laws are overstepping my boundaries”

Is a visit from the in-laws every 1.5 months for 2 weeks too much?

I NEVER agreed to it. I said one week max. But once they’re here they would ask to stay. Now suddenly 2 weeks in the normal. I said if it’s two weeks it has to be two months in between. Then it inches closer together. Now the norm has become 2 weeks every 1.5 months…and shaving off days of the in between.

They’re overbearing, take over the house, criticize and comment on how to raise our child.

Know Your Rights. What To Do If You Get Pulled Over By The Police

So, let’s talk about getting pulled over. Stay calm. Don’t look back at the police car or the officer approaching. No sudden movements. Just sit still and wait. Don’t rummage for your license and insurance until asked. When the officer reaches your window, be respectful. Regardless of your feelings about the police, every sentence should end with “sir” or “ma’am”. Keep your voice calm and steady. If asked why you were pulled over, simply say, “No sir,” and let the officer tell you. Don’t argue. Just acknowledge and move on.

What Is the Psychology of Someone Who Feels They Are Unworthy of Love?

There’s a quiet, brutal story some people carry around like a second spine:

“I am not someone worth loving.”

They don’t always say it out loud. In fact, most of the time, they don’t even consciously think it. But it leaks out everywhere—in who they choose, what they tolerate, how they interpret silence, how they react to kindness. It’s not just a belief. It’s a lens. And once you’re looking through it, everything starts to confirm it.

Let’s talk about where that comes from—and why it’s so damn sticky.

“Long time partner and baby daddy won’t marry me”

I’ve been with my boyfriend for over five years. We have a two year old together and have lived together the entire time. On the surface, everything is stable. We share a car, rent a house, and split utilities. Our life works.

The problem is that he won’t marry me.

We talk about the future a lot, and it’s clear he plans to stay with me, but marriage never seems to be part of that plan. Whenever I bring it up, he gets defensive or brushes it off. Sometimes he says things like “why don’t you just ask me” or that marriage is just a piece of paper. But to me, it means a lot more than that.
