I hate being ill. This week, I suffered from the worst affliction known to mankind: man flu. I made it through, thanks for not asking. But this time of great peril made me realize something: things take time. I wasn’t blessed with the gift of patience. I love always
Today, I realized that I’ve been blogging and writing for over a year now. When I set out on this experiment, my goal was to publish one blog post a week. I started on my personal website (https://tommytribolet.com) and later added Substack (https://substack.com/@tommytribolet). I
I’m at my home, relaxing on the couch. In Switzerland, one of the safest countries on the planet. Everything points toward that, at this moment, I am very, very safe. But my mind doesn’t think so. Problem upon problem. No solutions. It seems my mind loves sulking in
It's been three days since I've seen the light of day. That's not how I imagined paradise. Instead, I've suffered hell for the past 72 hours. I just started my travels. My first destination was Thailand. But not just anywhere in the

Poetry
One thing is clear to me: You are a fool if you enjoy the nonsense that is poetry. It does not build buildings nor does it cure a cold, it cannot predict how the future may unfold. But humanity is no fool – in a world where data reigns supreme, rationality
For about three years now, I tried to think myself out of the hole that searching for the meaning of life digs around one's self. I've looked everywhere twice and found confusion thrice. Some bread crumbs that might lead to a path here and there, but
Nothing beats preparation. That’s the mantra I adopted two months before my great adventure started. Maybe I adopted it a little too hard. What felt this the most was my wallet. If you go traveling, you also must look the part. At least that’s how I rationalized buying
I don’t know when it started exactly, but at some point in 2023, I started to hate my life. It’s not that I was ill. I was physically active every day. It wasn’t that I had financial troubles. I made good money working for an insurance company.
