I Just read a very short introduction to Public Administration Our 8-hour, 5-day workweek is the result of a long process dating back to the 19th or 20th century. Social benefits like health insurance and pensions too We as a society are developing.The work of public administration is interdependent between organizations, but in reality, siloing or gatekeeping of information still exists, even within the same organization. Communication is key. How top-down and bottom-up communication can work well together. And yeah, I still don't understand clearly what public administration is as a whole after reading this book.  Maybe that's not the purpose of this book, and I should find out more. Maybe later.

You've probably heard this phrase thrown around when talking about friendships or dating, especially when someone's not putting in effort or initiating contact. And yeah, there's some truth to it. But honestly? I think it's a bit oversimplified. Here's the thing... there are actually tons of reasons why people don't reach out, and it's not always because they don't care. They might be dealing with: The exact same mindset you have ("If they wanted to talk to me, they would") Anxiety about bothering you or coming across as annoying Life getting messy and overwhelming Not knowing what to say after time has passed Different communication styles or social energy levels. All it takes is literally one text to reconnect and catch up. Sometimes someone just needs to break the ice, and it doesn't really matter who does it first Of course, boundaries are important. There's a difference between someone who's going through it and someone who...

What Exactly Is a Comfort Show? It's exactly what it sounds like! The kind of media that makes you feel at ease Usually, it's a movie or series where you already know the ending or the plot twists. When you watch it, you don't feel anxious or anticipate surprises... your brain isn't waiting to see what happens next because you already know... that familiarity brings comfort. I've been trying to get back into movies and series lately, but I seem to lack the energy to start something new. Over the past 6-7 months, basically since the second half of 2025 I've felt like there are better things to do than watching shows. Maybe that's true, or maybe it's just where I am right now. Back to the topic at hand, my two favorite comfort series are both anime. The first one is Barakamon, follows a young Japanese calligrapher who gets sent to a countryside island after punching an art curator in a fit of anger. That's my badly simplified version, anyway. The serie...

Sometimes I wonder what it’s like to be loved by me... Is it like warm soup on a rainy night? Or like hugging a friend you haven’t seen in years? Does it feel like coming home after a long, exhausting trip? Like finally getting to rest after pushing yourself too hard? Or is it too much? Too heavy? Does it feel like being trapped instead of held? Like tension you can’t escape? Like background noise you’d rather turn off? Like trying to speak but never being heard? Am I too intense? Too distant? Too hard to love? Why does thinking about it hurt so much, like I’m already grieving something I never even had?

Well, like learning any other language or whatever it is, you gotta start somewhere, right?  Learn the basics, get the rules down, and then just throw yourself into English as much as you can Let me give you some examples... Here are a few questions to think about What Are You Watching? What do you watch on a daily basis, YouTube, podcasts, that kind of stuff? Is it in English? If not, start switching to some English content   I's honestly one of the easiest ways to get better without even trying that hard. Movies and Series? Movies and streaming series. If the original language is English, use English subtitles. This way you can actually understand what they're saying, improve your listening, and yeah, start recognizing how people actually talk in English. And that's the informal way to do it, and I'm still doing this stuff regularly. I even write my journal or diary in English without giving a crap about grammar or rules, because honestly, I still suck at it. I'm ...

A month ago, if you'd told me I'd be drinking coffee daily, I would have laughed and called it ridiculous. I was a tea person through and through, a devoted fan of jasmine tea. Ah, the aroma was pure pleasure to my senses. But today? Yes, I'm drinking coffee almost every day. Americano, to be specific, instant iced roast from a certain brand.The beauty of it is the convenience. No need for coffee filters or any elaborate setup. Just pour some water, and you're good to go.To be honest, the shift happened out of necessity. I had an event that left me sleep-deprived for about five days straight. Coffee became essential.So now, my mornings usually start with an americano, even if it's just instant coffee.
