I might be a student again

Dear friend

I went to university about 11-12 years ago. It was a good time, met some people, and learned a few things. However during my second year, I reached a point in my mental health which forced me to withdraw from my course.

I'm going back.

You can't save the galaxy in a day

Major Spoiler Warning

I have a hero complex. I do, I will admit it. I have the overbearing tendency to try to fix everything wrong in the lives of those I care about, as if it's somehow my responsibility to do so; when I inevitably face the fact that I shouldn't - or worse can't - do anything about it, I feel like I've done more bad than good. Like I have personally failed them.

Today I'm learning: How to juggle

Dear friend

A few years ago, CGP Grey uploaded a video that - in essence - suggests one ditch the concept of “new year's resolutions” for a variety of reasons. Paramount among which being that it's basically impossible to stick to them solidly. Frankly I agree; the concept of “new year, new me” has always been lost on me. I think we should always be striving to better ourselves, the new year shouldn't be the only excuse to do so.

Dear friend

Did you ever use to play old console games like Road Rash? Did you ever notice the skybox in games like that depicts a mountain or skyline that is unreachable? I, for one, loved that.

🇫🇷 Cher ami

Cher ami

Aujourd'hui je voudrais vous écrire en français. Je vous en prie, pardonnez mon français. Mon niveau c'est environ A2/B1 donc ma grammaire n'est pas parfaite.
