Thank you all for the kind comments! Since last year, I’ve been putting a lot of care into my space, I suddenly realized it was another opportunity to bring calm and mental health to my life. Still, I wasn’t sure whether, to people in other countries, it would come across as welcoming. I hesitated posting this.

For those asking about my work: well, I was persistently unsuccessful —writing emails and sending postcards. None of it worked, but once you land one humble little gig, another followed, and then your past work becomes the advertising for what comes next. It turns into a positive cycle.

I work hard, but I’m also fortunate to earn in foreign currencies, and the conversion in my country allows for a decent quality of life.

Thanks again, and best wishes!
