I spent a few minutes thinking about a title for this blog, and although I knew what I wanted to write about, I just couldn’t come up with anything for the title. But I know that after I finish the last sentence of this blog, I will have a great one. So, let’s go. ForContinueContinue reading “People Are Always Right…”

“Der Hund mit dem Licht!”
Today is one of those days when I questioned my work and one of the things I am most proud of: helping people.
Maybe Care is not always Sweet Soup
Fifteen years ago, I thought a missed bowl of sweet soup meant someone didn’t care about me. Today, while learning to say no, I finally understood that care can look different from what we expect.
Less ‘But,’ more ‘And’
Sometimes one small word can change the whole feeling of a sentence. This reflection is about choosing less “but” and more “and” — in writing, thinking, conversations, and life — as a way to hold different truths together instead of cancelling one with another.
Life has its way :)
After a productive workday, I felt almost invincible — until a small moment at a German supermarket checkout brought my confidence back to neutral. It reminded me that life sometimes sends quiet signals, not to warn us, but to prepare us for the next version of ourselves. For me, that signal was clear: it is time to get fluent in German.
How I Read in the Age of AI: Trust, Judgment, and Critical Thinking

I have seen this photo many times, but only today did I truly understand it. Today, I finally found the courage to run away from what made me miserable — and that “everything” was my own thoughts. This is a small turning point, a note of gratitude to myself, and the beginning of writing more freely and honestly.
Tejeda
After six months without writing, I found myself in Tejeda, a small mountain town in Gran Canaria. I went there alone to work remotely, walk, think, and simply be. Between rainy hikes, coconut pastry smells, childhood memories, and one quiet night under the stars, Tejeda became one of those places I know I will always remember.
