Good mental health and creativity
So, as stated here multiple times, my blog is to record how I’m thinking and feeling. It’s been two weeks now since I started my digital detox (and approximately 10 days without Facebook) and my mental health and energy levels weren’t that good for ages. I also haven’t been working the last two weeks, but […]

Ok, I’m calming down (and don’t have PTSD)

Although maybe not everyone shares that view as the number of visitors to my blog shrinked recently, however that could be because of Easter and weather getting warmer? But then, reduced number of views could have been […]
