If there is one TV series I am totally glued to every Monday morning, it is Game of Thrones. When I read the books, some summers ago, I really had no idea as to how (and if) I would be able to escape George R.R. Martin’s universe. The series was not complete yet and the…

The only thing I don’t particularly like is diaries with dates as they make me feel stressed about time, deadlines and the inevitability of time passing.
