Every morning, I wake up and jot down a few thoughts in my journal. Sometimes trivial, sometimes profound, they stem from a moment lived or the memory of a past experience. Then, on a sticky note, I distill the essence of my reflection into a few phrases: “fragments”.
I had already shared those from November and December. Here are my January fragments. May they find you in the best of spirits. May this year bring you the best of the best and a glimmer of light even in the shadows.

📌 3. Man carries an eternal ambivalence.
📌 4. I believe in good faith, in willpower, and in progress.

Inaudible sounds of nature! Incredible richness of solitude! Unfathomable destiny of man! Death, a tragic experience of being! Love, the essence of all things! Happiness, the ideal of existence! Failure, the school whose master is none other than oneself! Friendship, the other me! Dissatisfaction, man's own! Admiration, the ideal of love! Jealousy, the disease of love! Passion, the illusion of love! Possession, disguise of a sick love!
To the people who welcomed me when I needed an“I understand.” To the people who encouraged me when I needed a“you can do it.” To the people who passed on faith, patience and confidence to me by reminding me that“everything passes.” To the people who saw me reborn and welcomed me To the people who…
