Hmmm in Diary of a Would-be Success
Hi Josh, I cried all night. Why do I always feel betrayed? Why don’t I have people that can stand by me. Maybe asking for selfless friends is too much, but why can’t people in my life just rec...
5 days Streak in Diary of a Would-be Success
This is unbelievable. 5 days of doing what I say I will do! We continue like this and soon it will be a lie to call myself ‘unstable’ or ‘weakly willed’. But there are still very many things ...

1st Streak in Diary of a Would-be Success
