  • Many things at many times, but never about my personal life and thoughts, and that of my immediate circle. It’s things like why Kissinger was infamous or what Belgium was doing in Congo some years ago, and how it seems at times that I “swim in the sea of the unconscious” (from Persona 4’s OP, wonderful game!) and I can’t seem to find any solution to it besides waking people up one by one and the destiny of the world lies on people who know what Labubu is but don’t know why they do the things they do because they’re consumerist, hedonistic, unthinking automatons (to certain degrees, of course, but the Western ideological vacuum leaves people to default into it. And God has been dead there since at least Nietzsche’s days)…

    But then I take a deep breath and remember I too will die in due time and whatever responsibility I feel for this world will die with me. And also, I’m just one man. 🤷









  • The mixture of the racing thoughts that come with hyperactivity plus my own attachment issues derived from a difficult and physically abusive childhood have made me someone who gets easily triggered by even a semblance of disregard or lack of kindness, and then I start yelling… I’ve had to consciously change my understanding of the world and I’m still trying to properly use the mental tools required to stop/slow the negative thoughts that end in me getting upset. The one lady I fell for and dated years before I met my now wife broke up with me because of my anger and proclivity for starting arguments, after all. Outside of relationships, I used to pick fights at the slightest indication of perceived danger/disrespect, something I had to get out of my system as well to live in society. In my defense, being in the FFL for 5 years was not helpful in trying to push down/recalibrate my aggression. But, with my wife’s help, I’ve managed to reach a ‘healthy’ and stable point in my life, and I’m sharing this today so y’all don’t lose hope. 🙏❤️





  • I’m French… go to Spain! There’s incredible architectural diversity and the people are generally very good vibes (I guess they’re anti-touristy nowadays, lol, but still!), plus things are at least 20-25 percent cheaper there. Oh, and also the Spanish government is the only Western country (correct me if I’m wrong, and hypocrisy like the UK saying something nice and then intervening for Israel doesn’t count…) who has made any sort of anti-imperialistic remarks regarding Gaza! I’d like to believe it’s a reflection of today’s Spanish population. 👍
