Congrats on being alcohol and tobacco free for three months! I'm three years sober and it's truly a blessing.

I love this piece, even if you wrote it on a phone (like a psychopath) haha.

My partner and I constantly come back to that annoying truth - the answer is simple, but not easy. And we do always know what to do, but it's having the courage to do it.

Came for the Slovenia mention (heaven on earth for me), subscribed for your honesty and finding someone on a similar wavelength. Thanks for sharing Hrvoje

Thank you, I’m glad you like it. I also think we are on a similar wavelength. If you’re ever near Slovenia again, don’t be a stranger ;)

I really enjoyed this one Hrvoje. Your line about writing on your phone like a psychopath made me burst into laughter. And your line about needing better writing idols resonated more than I would have liked haha. But it was your acknowledgement that we always know what we need to do deep in our gut that really stood out for me. I couldn’t agree more; my trouble is often just making sure I listen to what my guts telling me. Thanks :)
