It feels like time slowed down.

Hi reader! How are you doing

I officially entered the finish line with the language school. Last 2 weeks is happening. Thanks to my bus schedule I didnt go to school as it sucks ass to come home. Today I had a teams day, and holy hell I forgot how much I hate my teacher. Unskilled men with his stupid powerpoint and the uummm katsotaaaannnnn..hmmmm kuka.hmmm haluaaaaaaa minulle.hmmmmm fucking jumpscare roulette feels like being a hostage in his stupid power play The man gives me a massive anxiety with this shit. I got it he love the power play, probably he have no words at home but man this sucks. Everytime I have a class or teams or any interaction with this person he take all my energy. Idk maybe hes a jinn or some turkish demon who feast on peoples energy and anxiety. Anyway he pulled the important teacher card today bugging me with my future plans which I have told and written to him at least 5-10times Well I guess he just oopsie forgot it so he can act like he is so important and powerful once again. I wonder how it is his business what do I do after Im finally get out of this schools hostage. I hope I never ever in my life have to even see the C+ again. Anyway 6 workdays left. Im so excited about next friday. Exactly 12.45 I will block all my teachers starting with the energy demon firts in every possible place! Log out of my C+ teams and wilma and delete all school related stuff. It will feel amazing. I looking forward to do it. This is kind of a rage post tho, I not really found a single way how to cope with this man and his stuff so the hate and rage just boiling inside me most of the times. So I thought I will write it out. I just wish schools would check out their teachers more. Not letting people who is incompetent to be a mentor/teacher and teach in adult education. Whatever. Thats it for now. He took already a precious half year from me going to school and not learning anything just bc his existence gave me anxiety from the very first day. Good night world.

As part of my efforts to write more travel diaries, I will bring a keyboard on my next hiking trip that involves a long train ride (starting on Saturday), to try writing on my iPhone. If it works, I will buy something lightweight and foldable. Recommendations welcome.

Journal Week 26, June 2026

What a week! It was a hot one for sure... Which, unfortunately, meant that Koa and I could go out on less walks, and I wasn't able to exercise as much as I had wanted. We had a good puppy class on Monday, and I had a good meeting with the ASS-ADHD support lady. Tuesday was warmer already, and Koa went with me to physio, where he did remarkably well. Wednesday we tried to relax as much as we could, it getting even warmer again. The same for Thursday, which was a very sad day, as we had to say goodbye to the big black fluff . Friday we had code red due to the weather. Koa and I did manage to go to physio, and all went well. Yay for aircon! Saturday was another code red day, although it was a wee bit "cooler" (still above the 35 degrees, but less near the 40). Saturday starrted pretty well, until I twisted my back when Koa pulled the leash, and I was back to being in more pain again... Sunday was a hellish day, and it was a challenge to get through it... I really don't know how long I can keep going on like this... Hopefully, on Monday, I can get some help, which I so desperately need...

A FOR MY MIND

A lot of people seem to imagine AI as some dark public altar where you place private things, and they are immediately handed to the world.

That is not how I use AI.

For me, AI is closer to a spell checker, tool, reading aid, and mirror.

Since my , writing is slow. One finger does the work. helps me process what I read, understand what I am trying to say, and reply with more .

I dont use it to expose people. I dont include surnames, email addresses, , locations, or anything that identifies a person.

I use it the way someone else might use Google, a , a grammar checker, or a trusted notebook.

It helps me think.

It helps me .

It helps me slow down before reacting. Like any tool, it can be used badly. So can a , a , a , or a .

The question is not AI or no AI

The question is: am I using this with care, honesty, and above all,

That is the only part I can really be for.

Journal Week 25, June 2026

It was a busy week, that quickly also became a very hot week. My back and leg were still giving me enough trouble, and my physio worked hard on the damned muscle. It hurt a lot, and unfortunately, at the end of the week, it still hurt me. I could not walk properly with Koa, which annoyed me, as I felt I was letting him down, and not providing to his needs. There was some good stuff this week, but also some sad things... A bit of a mix, and I know that next week will be even harder, for various (sad) reasons. So yeah, it was quite a week, where I dealed with some extremes... But, Koa and I made it through, and we're ready to start the new week, which they predict will be even hotter than this one was...

The life that goes nowhere

Welcome or welcome back reader. Here we are again. Me and my nonstop yapping about my misery.

I realized something just now. my life is going nowhere. like literally. I was laying on the couch while my guy doing his stupid game developing next me and I was thinking. I hope he finish the game someday then it will be my time to shine So i said it out loud: I cant wait when the game is done so you can put this much time and effort to be with me. his reaction of course uhum and that he want to do something with his life well no shit Sherlock I would want too but Im here waiting for you to change, to finally make me feel like a partner, or for maybe get married finally after 5 years He engaged me 3 times and in the end we never got married and if I bring up the topic of Im being miserable, I dont want to wast more time here waiting, or just he should act more like a partner he shuts me down. the other day midsummer night we was out just driving around, I randomly bring up the topic and his reaction was: it was such a nice midsummer why have to ruin it Well Im very sorry that I want to move forward too and not just being in a pause bc you cant decide if you want to be with me or not. It sucks bc I gave up my home and my heritage for this guy and all I got is this misery You can say Im needy or whatever but I dont think the bare minimum is needy here. I just want to belong, or be treated like I matter, or as a partner, or a person at least. I dont want fancy stuff, but at least sometimes a cuddle or a proper kiss not just stupid pecks on lips. maybe something physical It sucks.I feel miserable, disgusting and worthless Im absolutely unmotivated to study his language, to live in his country, or to even stay alive I dont think thats the right direction, but also. Im too faithful to go on dating sites or leave bc I seen he can be caring or at least he faked it well in the beginning. It hurts I feel scammed and trapped. I have nowhere to go, I have no money to leave bc I try to be useful and give to him all I have, and I have nobody to ask advice from I wish I met him some other times of my life. When I still had self confidence and knew my self worth I would have probably already walked away then. But now He knows I cant do that so he dont even care about this relationship. I used to write journal, and already 4 years go I was writing about how unhappy I am with him Even showed it to him but no reaction. always just the promises of yes yes I will do better or shut me down. Recently I noticed that I not even act myself anymore. I noticed that showing a slight of personality just made me feel uncomfortable bc of his reactions, so I shut myself down. COMPLETELY! Im an empty sad shell waiting to live again and I fill the emptiness with anxiety, fear, sadness and unnecessary amount of snacks so at least I keep gaining weight too thats it thats me.

Alright he came in to the studio and gave a short shoulder massage bc my back is so messed up from stress. yes Im stupid enough to take this as something awesome and kind feel like I forgive all the misery but still It will be gone soon so I will be back sinking in my life that goes nowhere
