Welcome to my cosy little nook in the digital realm.

This is a life blog (not to be confused with a lifestyle blog).

A space for reflective, depth-oriented, somewhat philosophically-minded humans who are interested in understanding their life and tweaking it for improvement and/or those that just want a little help from a friend. You can read more about the ideas behind Life Inspiration File here.

Since we cover a range of topics that may not all be of interest to you, let me walk you through Life Inspiration File.
