How to Let a Book Find You

The right one might change your life forever. — I have lost count of the number of times a book has magically crossed my path. I wasn’t looking for it. Every time, it appeared “by chance”, and it contained exactly what I needed at that moment in my life. I am not surprised anymore. …

And it’s not related to money or work. — From Lisbon to Costa Rica through Mexico, I treated myself to four months I dreamed of. I had planned everything ahead: where to go in this vast world, where to stay, in which cafés to work, how to get from point A to point B… Everything but one thing. And…

One Thing I Did as an Insomniac Teenager to Sleep Better

5 minutes: that’s how long I need to fall asleep every night. — I’ve been sleeping well since I was 12 or 13. When I say well, I mean that I fall asleep in less than 10 minutes and I don’t wake up until the next morning, with rare exceptions.

They were made of 4 things, actually. — I didn’t go on a diet. I didn’t exercise — I even stopped working out. I quit counting calories. I ceased feeling guilty when I ate dessert or pizza. In a word, I let go. I learned to listen to myself, and as a result, some of my habits changed. …

Artists-Freelancers, What Do You Do First?

Here’s what I realized about the way I organize my days. — I juggle every day between two hats: freelance writer and artist. I try to write the texts that pay my bills + create words and photos that feed my flame. Without one, I can’t live. The thing is, it’s challenging to mobilize enough energy in a day to do both. …
