I'm not proud of myself lately, I am stressed out, I am literally in the mode of: I have no idea what to do with such and such problems. I am wrestling financially, … Continue reading Proud
Peace
I chose the word 'peace' for the year 2025. I want to make the word as the anchor for me to walk through 2025. Why the word peace? Hmm .. I don't know...

If not, your job is probably bullshit, part of a system that ensures we do a meaningless job, just to keep us busy, so the population … Continue reading Commonsense
