The self imposed hubris of a young wannabe-writer
Reminisced (wow, that’s a word I never use) today after seeing a comic meme that was aimed at my past self. It went something like: Person 1 standing in the frame of a room door: “You think you’re so smart because you read so many articles online. Look at how you look right now.” Person 2…

December 27
December 27 has been yet again one of the worst days of my life for a 5th consecutive year. Can’t escape it, it’s imminent. My destiny is to keep suffering on this godforsaken day. The same thing happens every single year. I have a great Christmas weekend with enjoying booze, food, friends and presents. Eating…

The Karen within me
Today I made my first official complaint to management ’cause I’m an adult (and basically a snitch); and I hate myself for it. But it was the correct way to go. Let me expand on the subject. I moved into a new apartment recently. First few weeks were fine, but now my neighbor is basically…

A very ordinary Christmas during very unusual times
Christmas dinner was a surprisingly nice experience. Who would’ve thought? I certainly wasn’t expecting a good time with everything that’s happening. 12 people attended, same inner circle, everyone sent their vaccination cards to the hostess and did a rapid-test the same day. Can’t think of a safer way to get-together and celebrate Christmas in the…

An Omicron Christmas
They’re finally here! Christmas’ Eve and Christmas, possibly my two most favorite holidays. Pork and Turkey dishes, family gatherings, lots of desserts, presents and people are overall happier, that’s just a fact (well, omitting seasonal depression for the sake of this sentence). But this year — like the past one, shit— things are starting to…

Number 10
This one is going UP —to the main menu, I mean—. Well, it’s been 10 days and 10 posts since this whole ‘project’ started. One per day, just as promised, and keeping strong. First and foremost, I want to thank all the people that read my words and interact with the page on a daily…

Winter is not coming, winter is here
First day of Winter, whoop dee doo! Today is Tuesday, December 21, marking the winter solstice. When Earth’s Northern Hemisphere is tilted farthest from the Sun as possible. It’s known as the shortest day of the year, or the longest night of the year (reads like a glass half full scenario, but ok). Some cultures…

Chronicles of a severe procrastinator (pt. 1)
Let me start with the obvious. Yes, it says pt.1 because there will be more. First step in any recovery is recognizing you have a problem. Bear with me, please. I have to admit, I missed this feeling. Looking at the white screen of the processor (sorry, black. Because in this house we have everything…

An ocean exists in the space between our shoulders
It all started with a failed love story (doesn’t it always?) Excessive amounts of affections, unbridled passion and the naive hope of wanting it to be everlasting, where the laws of time have no authority and every day is unique, and you never want them to end. Until you start a new one, only to…

The difference between honesty and bullshitting is the dose
Recently I got asked: “How do I know you mean the words that are coming out of your mouth most of the time?” First I was surprised. Then got offended. But immediately remembered that the person in front of me hasn’t known me for a long time, at least the REAL part of me that…
