The Fake Saint

I talked the other day with an old friend. We talked on messenger because he didn’t find the time to see each other in the real world.

But now things have changed for him and he started to feel a little embarrassed with what I write on this blog. To make a long story short, he thinks I’m cheating.

Don’t know what exactly started to go down and when it will completely disappear, but I know for sure it’s happening right now. Things have come to a point when friends are asking me: why don’t you apply what you write on your blog in your life too? And I thought about that question also… (more…)
