The Psychology of Money — Morgan Housel
The most important lesson: doing well with money has little to do with how smart you are, and a lot to do with how you behave. I kept thinking about the difference between being wealthy and looking wealthy.
Writing for myself. Books, markets, and whatever's on my mind. Nobody has to read this.
Met a Brazilian gril today, online. We talked for a few days, not bad but Im still have a lot pressure when she comes to talk to me. It is not about her but anyone. I dont know what is wrong with me. I hope I can feel the true happiness about talking to others not like now, just pretend to be happy, pretend I like talk to her. Feel sry to her, is it cheating?
Today She still ask me to make a phone call with her, I'm not confident with my oral english,that's the first reason. Second, I really dont wanna spend too much time on her. I've been this situation too many times, watching my roommate pretend talking with his girlfriend with lots of interests, but actually he feel that's a mission, a burden. I dont wanna be like that. Maybe I should try to call her? This time is different from other couples? I dont know, but based on my experience, my expectation is we like others, no differnence at all. No matter she is Chinese or Brasilian, both of them make me feel troublesome. Someone like me should be lonely all the lifetime maybe.
She was angry about me just because I didn't send her a message. Jesus,it shows I dont care about her, she is not important. I have apologized to her but she didn't accept. I am tired today both body and mind, I want to sleep now. Women are troublesome, unreasonable and stupid.
Just delete this line and write whatever happened today. Or whatever you're feeling. No rules.

A few sentences about what you got from it. Doesn't have to be a review — just what stuck with you.
I used to open my portfolio app constantly. It didn't help me make better decisions — it just made me anxious. Buying and holding is boring. Being bored is the point.
What happened, how you felt, what you learned.
São Paulo is loud and alive. Some days I love it. Some days I miss home and can't explain why. Both things are true at once and I've stopped trying to resolve that.
It doesn't need a point. It doesn't need to be good. This is just for you.
