I successfully renewed my WordPress sub. What's the point if your writing never gets you anywhere? To that question... Which I asked myself once in a while, this is my answer: I write in this blog because this is my way to keep my sanity intact. I write to know myself, to examine my thoughts, … Continue reading Renewal
Writing
Therapeutic
Writing is and will always be my very personal mental therapy. I've been writing on and off for a decade now and I am sure that my sanity is still intact because of this writing practice. Today, I found another proof that this writing practice is essential for me. This morning, I had a rough … Continue reading Therapeutic
Bravery
It's a beautiful thing to write, don't you agree? I really like to write at the end of the day, like now.

The missing lessons
I spent over a decade in school learning how to calculate the slope of a line…But no one ever taught me how to do my taxes. I memorized the periodic table…( with fear along with minuscule understanding about why it matters to know this table).And I had no clue how interest rates worked.Or that debt … Continue reading The missing lessons
