Dear Diary, Today, I was faced with an unexpected issue: an annoying neighbor who wishes to inspect my mother’s house, where I’m currently staying for a few weeks. His reason? A pesky ant infestation in the apartment downstairs. As a result, I find my patience waning and defensive, possibly even aggressive, instincts kicking in. I… [keep reading]
Today, I’m truly grateful because I’ve accomplished substantial work. Instead of squandering time, I dedicated myself passionately to one of my projects and managed to make significant progress. It’s such a joy when I find passion in what I’m doing!
Dear Diary, The primary “issue” I noticed today arose during a chat exchange with one of my exes. Without delving into tedious details, my suspicion was that her intention was to exploit me somehow, to obtain what she wants, whatever that may be. Along with this came the doubt that perhaps I am the one… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Today, I brought my father back home. It seems like a trivial thing, except for one detail: I brought my father’s ashes home. My father passed away many years ago, but I still harbor some emotions. Not so much about his death, but about his illness. His disease took away his coordination and… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Actually, today I don’t know what to say. Things happened, but perhaps they’re not remarkable. I’ve worked, I’ve tried, I’ve done stuff. As I noted in the Gratitude Journal, there were small things for which I was grateful. But now, as I face some sort of writer’s block in filling this entry, I’m… [keep reading]
Today, I’m grateful again because I had the opportunity to work towards my dreams. I’m grateful because I can spend some time with my mum, I have shelter, good food, time to work on my goals, and no need for money or work at the moment. Given that, I could say I’m quite blessed, and… [keep reading]

I am also thankful for a pleasant conversation I had with my friend, Giulia. Additionally, I’m grateful… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Sometimes I just feel sad, and today, that was my predominant feeling at a certain point. Perhaps it was work-related frustration, elusive results, setbacks, or something else. At one point, during a moment of sadness, I remembered my insight about mindsets: they’re generally unconscious, but you can always question yourself – “which mindset… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Sometimes, I’d just like to receive some news from karma. Something like “the bodies of people who hurt or hate me are passing by the river shore”. Of course, I don’t think it’s a noble thought. But maybe it’s just natural to have these feelings, and first of all, I shouldn’t judge myself—or… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, These days, I seem to confront several minor issues that all attempt to undermine my efforts to become more peaceful, tolerant, or perhaps just less defensive. People may appear to “betray” me, perhaps by speaking behind my back—at least, that’s what I imagine in my paranoid thoughts. Whether true or not, I believe… [keep reading]
