It’s scary to show my diary to the 3300 + of you. And I probably shouldn’t do this as it might be used against me. But fuck it. I’m not my psychological wounds. I hope my vulnerability in the last three years impacts one of you for the better.


November 15th, 2022: Will I embrace the flow of change today?

Yes. I'm grown up now. I'm a man, and sometimes it gets scary because of all my responsibilities and the sweet, foolish pleasures of youth that I have to give up. But I can't keep living in nostalgia because I'll end up losing this beautiful moment, whether lovely or painful. I'll therefore embody who I should be and do a good job at it if I'm going to live a fulfilling life, for there's no event more suited to philosophy than the one I'm currently living. The cure is to love all there is.
