If You Reach for the Stars, You Will Not Find Dirt
Over the past few days, I've had a lot of teenage patients in my practice. Each of them had their own reason for coming in, most of them had colds. The longer you stay in the water, the wetter you get. Towards the end of the week, I started reflecting on today's young people and on my own children. Although they came in because of colds and sore throats, I was trying to psychoanalyze them, to figure out whether they were doing well, whether they were emotionally stable, wheth


Whisper... Whisper, Little Nightingale

And I was wondering why the world has


#1 - Laura, July 2026
Hi Laura, daddy loves you so much. Today I'm writing you the first message from the capsule that I hope finds you well in the future. Today, like yesterday, was a very difficult day. Right now I'm working a lot. On Mondays I wake up at 6:30 and manage to leave the house by 7:30, only to get back home between 10 and 11 at night. The same thing continues on Tuesday.
