Is the Non-Dysfunctional Family a Myth? Night Stories

I’m curious: what does a non-dysfunctional family look like? My dad was an alcoholic. He died from this damned sickness. His parents did, too. Both of them. My mom has the same addiction, plus a whole bunch of other issues. Wait—we’ll get to me and my own quirks later. But I grew up in a broken home that felt like hell. My cousins’ dad drank, too. My classmates either didn’t have fathers, or their dads had the same “talent” as mine, or they were abusers. One boy’s mom left him with a grandmother for the sake of a new husband. Another friend of mine abandoned her daughter with the father to go find a new love. And now, I’m standing guard by the bathroom so my son doesn’t waste water. I heard somewhere that this kind of control is a sign of a dysfunctional family. So, I guess I follow the same pattern now. Not because I’m stingy with the water, though. I’m here because our power grid is being shelled, electricity is hit-or-miss, and we have one 50-liter water heater for everyone. There a...

The Most Annoying Part of Tasks I Always Receive

Every task I’ve received here, at home, contains the same phrase. And often, when I listen to a training video on content writing or SEO, it also contains it. I’m not surprised by the words itself. I’m amazed why strong SEO teams, who definitely know how to bring sites to the top of organic search results, or instructors who record training (read - teach others, share experience), also use the same requirement. What is this phrase? What is this requirement that drives me, a person who knows how to write, so crazy? I won’t beat around the bush and will get straight to the point because lengthy introductions also annoy. Look at What Your Competitors Are Writing and Use It as a Basis Good people, are you paying the writer to copy? Who created the content for the competitor you’re trying to copy? And who brought it to the top? I’m not an SEO guru, of course. But there are those who create trends, and there are those who copy them. Of course, the one who first needs to work harder, have mor...

Should Writer Have Principles?

Today, I’m going to share with you my thoughts. But before I get started, I must say that I don’t judge anyone. I’m not in your shoes, and who knows where my destiny will lead my life steps and what decisions I will have to make. The Main Principle For Everyone in This World Let me put it plainly: the fundamental principle. Moreover, if this were the main principle of humanity, we would not have problems now. And we wouldn’t find ourselves in a world where peace is guaranteed only by a nuclear bomb. So, the principle, ladies and gentlemen: do no harm. Yes, I took it from the Hippocratic oath. When I was learning to drive, during the section on first aid for drivers while waiting for an ambulance, the nurse who taught the lesson emphasized several times: do no harm! Don’t do it if you don’t know if you can apply a tourniquet correctly. Because you can kill a person. Who knew that the ability to use a tourniquet in my country would become so necessary, say more critical, in six months? B...

Never Have Achieved Any Goal? That’s a BS, and Here's Why

I haven’t been to the gym for almost two months. First, my kid was sick, then I had dental implants, then my child got ill again, and then I got pneumonia. In short, I finally made it there yesterday. I wouldn’t call myself a fitness enthusiast. I’m overweight and have a cortisol belly. But I love the gym. Simply because I love the feeling of being there. I adore feeling good about myself when I’ve done a planned set. I enjoy being proud of myself when I complete a scheduled routine and even push myself a little further. And while I was on the treadmill at the end of my workout, the transformation of my own thoughts led me to a realization about my entire life. I’m almost always too lazy to do the final cardio. But I had planned at least half an hour, so I set the speed to a comfortable 3.4 mph. After 10 minutes, I wondered if I could walk 1.8 miles in those 30 minutes if I increased the speed to my maximum walking pace. And I started increasing it, trying to calculate. Then I decided ...

Guide to Action to Get the Money Result

The internet is overflowing with articles offering advice on finally achieving something and earning money. They might tell you to write a book using AI or create a coloring book and earn thousands of dollars of money selling it on Amazon. Or they may sell you courses on IT, web design, cryptocurrency, etc. In reality, these tactics often prey on your insecurities, exploiting your vulnerabilities to profit from you. If books on Amazon bring authors thousands of dollars in actual money, why would they also sell a course on “how to create a book”? Think about it for a moment. And no, I’m not against Amazon, books, guides, design templates, or other attempts to earn an extra source of passive income. But we’re here to finally get a practical answer: what do we do to get results from something, to finally get some money? The answer is as simple and obvious as daylight: to get a result, actually do something! Action Plan Not everyone follows the steps I’m about to suggest. In fact, almost...

How To Make Big Money Fast

The “how to make money fast” type of headline is high-frequency, meaning it’s what users often google. Many people worldwide ask Google this very question: where to make money? I can’t say for sure since I can’t access the audience data for the query “How to make money fast and without investment.” Still, I assume it most often may be a young audience or people without particular skills. Why do I say so? Young people and people without special skills they could offer to this world are always short of money. The older a person is, the more they understand that to earn money online without investment legally, they need to offer something to the online audience. Most often, the resources you sell online are knowledge and skills. Or those are articles like these, which most often contain copied advice or general answers from ChatGPT. As almost a mammoth, I believe everything “fast and easy” concerning money is either illegal or too fleeting. If not fraudulent, then close to it. Therefore, ...

The Secrets of the Desk Drawer

Hello everyone! Firstly, thank you for stopping by. I appreciate your attention and promise to do everything on my part so that you won’t regret visiting my blog. Secondly, I’m creating this blog as a result of some kick in the pants: I applied for one job in Indeed, and as a requirement, I had to send a link to a blog I manage. I didn’t have it. I do now. Thirdly, since I started my writer’s journey, I felt the urge to create my own blog with my own rules, not Medium or LinkedIn ones. So, welcome! This desk drawer will store my stories, thoughts, and battles. It will hold a fusion style of semi-fiction stories (and the best part - you will never know where fiction interrupts the real parts), a pinch of writing in "working-like-a-horse-days" style, and maybe some “shitty-reality” style. Do you really need a “Who Am I” part? Tell me in the comments when you feel like knowing about me. I’ll write then.
