A Stoic's Diary

I have been both good and bad to people.

I have been extremely happy whenever something good happened.
And like everyone else, I have had my fair share of failures as well.
I have been sad and depressed as well.
There was a time when nothing went right.

I know you might have witnessed such time in your life as well.

So, at that moment,
I started seeking life advices.
