Cu dragoste de la Țapinarii pentru toți.. tăticii țapinari (și nu numai) ❤️

I’ve been a Day One user for over 10 years.

My first entry dates back to 2013.

Until recently, I kept one journal per year. But yesterday, I decided to consolidate everything into a single journal—nearly 3,000 entries.

And that’s when the trouble began. My new journal won’t sync on iOS or the web.

I reached out to support, but no response so far.

Since all my entries were still on my Mac, I decided to export them year by year as a backup — in case I needed to switch to another app. And then came the bad news: all images from older entries were low-resolution.

Now, I’m stuck with a Day One that won’t sync and a local archive where my full-resolution images and videos are missing.

I’m nervous. Very nervous !!!

I should write more often. Maybe that way, my memories won’t play tricks on me anymore.

I like people who write weekly notes, so maybe I should start doing the same.

February is coming, the month of love. For me, I’d like it to be the month of love for myself… To be kinder and more attentive to myself, to what I do, and especially to what I don’t do.

My goals for February would be the following:
- to stop eating junk food
- to move more than I do now (it shouldn’t be hard because right now, I barely move at all)
- to write more
- to start writing poetry again

I really hope I can stick to these goals this time, I truly want to make a change!

I love to travel, to see new places, new cultures, and meet new people. Unfortunately, I don’t have the time or the financial means to do this as I wish.

One of my biggest dreams, however, is to one day visit Japan. It’s a country that has fascinated me for years.

If I were to find out tomorrow that I only have a year to live, I think the first thing I would do is buy a ticket to Japan. It’s sad to say that under the pressure of “if I were to die,” I would go immediately, but without that pressure, I can’t bring myself to do it. At least not now…

My children are still young, and we couldn’t go with them, especially not that far. I know some people do, but that’s not us. Leaving them behind is difficult for both us and them, especially since visiting a country like Japan requires at least two weeks.

One day, though, I will make it happen. I hope to still have the strength to do it; that is my only fear. As my children grow, perhaps we will all be able to go together and truly enjoy the experience.

Until then… I will remain with my dreams, feelings, and hopes.

また近いうちにお会いしましょう

Today I’m diving back into TiddlyWiki.

It’s been a few months since our last rendez-vous! 🕵️‍♂️💻

I’m checking it as a candidate for my daily note-taking playground. Sure, I’m currently using with Twos (and absolutely loving it!), but a little adventure with new toys never hurt anyone, right? After all, deep down, I’m just a big kid at heart! 🧸

Let’s see what I can do with it!
