Dear Diary, Today, I experienced a series of emotions that I want to unpack. When confronted by another marketer trying to grab my attention with his usual tactics, urging me to give him my email, my initial feeling was FOMO. Following that, envy arose, thinking of how these entrepreneurs seemingly succeed while I’m still navigating… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Recently, I read a passage in a book that seems to address an old issue of mine. The passage reads: “Customers with integrity are drawn to presenters with integrity. Customers who are impressed by manipulative or sleazy sales pitches deserve what they get. Ultimately, they will learn that quality people sell quality products… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Again on the topic of perception. I’m beginning to grasp a delicate balance between the value we place on “intuition” and the humble recognition that we don’t always know better. The principles I’m studying teach that our perception often needs correction. Yet, we seldom take the time to engage in such reflection. We… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, I feel sad, and I’m not entirely sure why. Loneliness might be a factor. My crush on my younger coworker could be influencing my mood. On one hand, I feel like it’s a bit foolish, but on the other, I don’t really think it is. What I mean to say is that it’s… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Yesterday a friend was complaining to me about how she’s been treated by a group of friends I left almost a year ago. At some point, I lost my cool. She was venting to me, seeking attention or perhaps the validation she didn’t find among those same people. What bothered me was that… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Last night, I had a rather unsettling dream where I was trapped in a room, unable to leave. I didn’t know why I was confined or who had put me there. The discomfort woke me up, and I went to the bathroom before returning to bed. Fortunately, subsequent dreams were more peaceful. In… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, These days, I’ve developed a crush on my friend and coworker. While I don’t take it too seriously—she’s much younger than me, and the situation could easily turn into a cliché of an older man pursuing a much younger woman—I still find value in the experience. For starters, I’ve managed to acknowledge my… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Yesterday, I had a nice day with my friend. We talked about personal stuff as well, and I might have shared something I wouldn’t usually discuss: I told her that I think I have this pattern of meeting and being attracted to women with “daddy issues” who, at the end of the day,… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, I guess I’m still struggling with the issue of envy. Not that this came unexpected, but it’s always a little upsetting when the feeling arises. A friend mentioned some guy who’s been successful in his endeavor. For personal reasons, I don’t like the guy. I think he’s “fake”, tells what people want to… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Recently, I had a vivid dream. In it, several people and I were in a car situated in a vast plaza or parking lot. This setting bears a striking resemblance to a specific place in the town where I grew up. The atmosphere was windy, and, caught up in the gusts, an open… [keep reading]
