Journaling in the Time of Social Media
Yes, it might actually be that damn phone. Journaling, Very Literally Journals are (I think) supposed to be a place for yourself to collect your thoughts.

Poruka Bogu ako sluša
Jesi li ikad uslišao takve molitve? Je li to nešto što možeš ispuniti? Je li moralno pitati za takvo nešto? Može li se moral uopće uzeti u obzir u ovakvom slučaju? Jer ako ovo ima smisla, to je smisao koji ja ne razumijem. Ta dinamika između dobra i zla, taj uteg koji uvijek naginje naContinueContinue reading “Poruka Bogu ako sluša”
