Dear Diary, I haven’t written for a while again, but maybe these times have been very productive nonetheless. Anyway, I’m here again to share the precious insight from today’s work on myself. I realized that I’ve felt many times in my life that I had to compete for love. This appeared today as a clear… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Yesterday, I must have come face to face with some ancient issue. In interacting with a potential new coworker, I ended up feeling a little insecure, inadequate—almost like a failure.I can sense there’s always some insecurity in almost everyone when meeting a new colleague, as if they might threaten something.

Dear Diary, The clash between these two parts of me is evident. One—call it the ego, though I still believe it holds something worthy of honor—seems eager to prove itself, to feel secure in the knowledge that I can stand up for myself, set boundaries, speak my truth, and not let disrespect go unchecked.The other… [keep reading]

Dear Diary, Yesterday, I went out with a beautiful girl who is a bit younger than me, but let’s not focus on that detail. I had a wonderful evening, and at the end, I walked her home but didn’t kiss her. I wanted to, but it just didn’t feel like the right time. This still… [keep reading]
Dear Universe, I’ve had an epiphany about my gratitude practice. Until now, I believed I needed something tangible or “material” from my day to express gratitude.
