Every Friday before diving into the weekend I share my thoughts in my weekly blog (in English). Things that touched me, stuff I learned, people I met, challenges I faced, opportunities I see, dreams I try to put in words.

I was reading an interesting article about emotionally dangerous people. People with a toxic behavior towards others. I think we all meet them in our lives unfortunately, but the danger is when you do not notice. Or sometimes you do notice and you try to talk with them openly about the way they deal with […]
