What advice would you give to your teenage self?
View all responses
  • You’ll regret more the things you didn’t do than the things you did and went wrong but don’t be hard on yourself anyway
  • When you’re in your early 20s, you’ll stop going to the gym, stop going to the mountain and stop playing football. Don’t do that, staying active is important. Maybe ditch the football, you’ll need those knees

Good luck!

I got 3 new gamebooks from the 1990s today. Planning to read toe UFO one soon.

All three are on subjects that fell out of fashion in the literature over the years. Flying saucers, samurais, and the Vietnam war. I hope at least one is actually good. Has to be the flying saucer 🙂

The Footbridge

One of the two pedestrian overpasses in my neighborhood got renovated and reopened. Here’s how it looked in the beginning of January and today.

We had no easy access to the park for 6 weeks, which affected the number of steps I make.

I don’t think the overpasses are practical. They are inaccessible and difficult to maintain. The elevators get used as toilets. I think a real solution would be a traffic light and slowing down the traffic on the main boulevard (Tsarigradsko Shose). It’s too noisy and dirty as is, it’s not just that it cuts Mladost in half and the wrong half is miserable despite the park.

Speaking of the park, I finally visited it today. The temperature was -10° C. Some very cold 5k steps.
