One of those days when existence is seriously overrated
Aversion to affection, interaction, socializing, touch, happiness… Is it self-loathing over spilling the metaphorical cup of personal feelings, or is it a self-defense mechanism in joint efforts of the body and mind? The perpetual complication takes multiple forms and timeframes, but the solution remains the same: Extrication. Remove oneself from the equation. Seek the path […]

Tired of it all
Exhaustion and mental fatigue are real, and there’s no use fighting them. The only solution is rest, recharge, calmness, avoidance, low energy mode, no bad vibes. You can go out for a hike if that’s your thing. Hit the basketball-tennis courts, gym and get a good workout. Me, I prefer the classic one: Staying inside, […]

Can you spare some soothing
Not another depressive blog post about suffering… About the mundane things in life getting to you. How about a lot of bothersome things consecutively, all at once, one after the other? Will that justify it? A baby in front of you crying during a 4-hour flight,The AC not working at full capacity during 90F degree […]

Raw-dogging reality, each and every day
Felt a bit of optimism today, a bit of “everything will be alright”. Immediately slapped myself back to normal. I want full happiness for the right, known reasons, not a sudden feeling that takes over without any explanation. Lots of people would prefer to ride it, and make it last. I’m not one of those. […]

“But doctor… I am Pagliacci”
Don’t you ever wish you can just quit everything? Your job, your bills, your debts, your responsibilities, paying the rent, answering call, writing texts, filling the gas tank, doing exercises, brushing your teeth, filing taxes… There are some days where enough is enough. It’s fucking relentless, and it doesn’t stop till you die. All of […]

Wishing for simpler times
Don’t have a single clear and positive thought running through my mind right now. Really trying to muster the strength and serenity to just let things flow and avoid conflicts. No, it’s not seasonal depression. No, I’m not angry or repressed. No, it’s not the current state of the world (although it doesn’t help one […]

It’ll get better… Eventually
How easy it is to finally start breathing again and keep going once you see the light at the end of the tunnel, when you can grab the rope that will help you climb out of the hole. You can be down a couple of days, or even weeks, and all that time sort of […]

Here we go again, another day, another year – JUST SMILE!
Another [pandemic] year flew by, and some places even brought back curfews and stricter mask and testing mandates; just in time to spread a little holiday joy. It was a very ‘warm’ December. Makes you wonder what’s coming in January and February (even March). My fridge is stocked and I’m ready for the worst. Probably […]
