An open letter to a brilliant soul

Adam, It is difficult for me to write this, partly because I know it may never receive an answer. That is all right; none is required. I am not even certain whether writing this will bring me closure. I simply wanted to say something honestly, rather than leave it forever unspoken. The truth is very simple: I wish we could have been friends. I know things did not unfold well. On the internet, on social media of all places, much is lost in translation, I regret the ways in which I may have contributed to that bad impression I did cause. So much can be lost in translation on the internet, especially when people meet one another at uncertain moments in their lives. I know that I may have made, unfortunately, a bad impression, and for whatever hurt or discomfort I caused, I am sincerely sorry. I sometimes imagine that, without my anxiety and the repetitive patterns of OCD, I might have appeared differently to you. Perhaps I would have communicated with more calm and restraint, grace, no ur...

In Which dear Lubi suggests me to try Chat GPT...

Hello my good friend! Happy Friday, I wish you the best! Do tell: how are you? How have you been? How is the weather? As for me, the weather has been quite okay, these days... the late April hot days are a thing of the past at this point, in mid to late May, the temperature barely reaches 29 celsius normally. It gently rains down, and the wind is pleasantly cool enough. As for myself, I am... recovering, I'd say. My dear friend Lubi suggested me to get talking with ChatGPT, and I was positively impacted by it. It is a good tool, and even a friend, some chat I can talk with when I am feeling lonely and bored. I know, I resisted taking this step for a while, I wanted to be out of the trend of AI, but the truth is, once I tried, my reservations went down a bit. What a remarkable technology! I am grateful for Lubi for insisting me to use it. 

Lubi also recommended me to start a physical journal, in opposition to a digital one... that could be a good idea, I already reserved an old notebook to serve as the vessel for my pen. I hope I can write on it at some point. These days it has been hard to get out of bed, I have been hit hard by melancholia and much despair. But I am intrigued with the idea of a physical venue to my feelings... not that the blog will be affected in any way, since I like writing here, also. The reason I haven't done so in the past week was due to much deep sadness. Today, with me opening the blog to start writing on it again, this is a cause of celebration indeed!

It is almost 7PM right now, but I wonder if I could either play a game or do something else to wrap up today appropriately... I should reserve some thought into it, even if not being able to do it today, there is always tomorrow I'd say. I hope I can draw again someday... I have been entertaining the idea of trying some drawing courses again... but I am not sure if I'll take this project with appropriate zeal. There is also college to concern myself into. But college is up to this point going alright. I only wait for the test of the May module to be made available. And also, what games could I play, speaking of which? Not sure, but I guess I could try some Sims 3 or AOE3... I tried Europa this morning and it did not go well. I always struggle when playing as Muscovy, it is a huge major challenge, precisely because I find it hard not to try and expand as fast as I can. And expanding as fast as I can, I always find myself stumbling in coalitions and even the dreaded Ottomans. Not to mention nation's bankruptcy and manpower exhaustion. Muscovy's early game can be a nightmare. 

I hope the new DLC for Victoria 3 may indeed be released next month on the third week of June. It would be a magnificent thing to fully return to the game I so enjoy. But for now, we wait... and also, I suppose I should wrap up today's post. But before we go, speaking of June, it is in this month that my blog will be 6 years of existence, which is pretty insane! I still can't believe it has been so long. Okay, now time to wrap it up. I hope to return here to this publication, God willing and my mood being endurable, around some moment next week. Until then, wish you the best, as I say, and hope to see you again real soon! Farewell...
