When telling your childhood story to people

Do you say "I often came and see my grandfather"? I think it's "I went and ...."

It's "I often went and saw my grandfather."

10. S: 7.2 a: 2:00 w: 12:00 11502 I need to pay more attention for to English thinking. Today I’ve tired of tried doing it but had no real results. Besides thinking, at in the evening I was listening to Castaneda’s audio book for several hours. I tried to translate it in Russian in my head. I have to stop thinking in Russian at all. The faster I do it the easier it will be to think in English in the future. I have to develop my thoughts as far much/fast(?) as possible. If I want to change myself and become stronger I must learn to switch languages in my mind without effort. I must learn to think in English easily as well as I can do it with my native language… Today I was in the bath. I felt weak and the bathtub(?) was hard. My condition jumps very intensively. I should do something to make it more stable.

Well done ^^

Last week I watched another movie that was nominated for the Oscars. I already watched "Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri", and I liked it a lot. It was captivating and emotional. In regards to "Call me by your name", I didn't have high expectations when I decided to watch it. Actually, I thought it was going to be another boring story, but it wasn't. I was really surprised when I finished watching the movie. It was one of the most romantic movies I've ever watched. I have some favorite romantic movies, like: "As good as it gets", "Atonement", "The theory of everything", etc. And now I can add this one. The story is about a boy who falls in love with a 24-year-old man. I found it really interesting that the movie doesn't focus on labeling their romance as a gay relationship or on their coming out. They only show a love story in a beautiful and simple way. What I liked most of about the story was the subtle way they fell in love. It's all a process where they get along with each other and discover feelings that they never felt before. I really liked the story. For that reason, I decided to read the book the movie is based on. And I've almost finished it. I don't regret it. The book is also beautiful; it has more details and you can feel the main character's emotions and frustration. It's something really different. I really recommend the movie and the book too (even though I haven't finished it yet).

Your writing is very good!

< to create or to destroy?

There is an interesting quote I've heard today and it gives me no peace, so to speak.
I'm not sure whether I might say "quote" or not, because of the large number of words in it, anyway.
Anyway, the quote is: "Nobody has seen an atom. Even in a super electron microscope you can't see an atom. We've observed its activity, but we have never seen an atom as such; however, we have broken it. We are capable of breaking things even if we cannot see them. We are very proud of this these days."
After a small pause the author added: "Whether we can make it or not is a questionable thing, but we can break anything we want. Even if we cannot see something, we can break it."
I'm also not sure if I wrote down his words without mistakes from the perspective of English grammar, but the essence of the words I caught accurately.
It's important to add, the author said those words without feelings of pride or something like that.
He said that with deep disappointment, and at the same time with mockery, that nowadays humanity is too complacent and too proud of their achievements, so we often don't pay attention to the fact that we're getting tend to destroy, but not to create.
Perhaps, if we pay attention to what we do and how that affects the world as well as creatures around us, we will be able to create more and destroy less.
Let's create instead of destroying! It's harder, but more enjoyable : )

Journal day 8

Day 7 done.
Day 8 begun. I have narrowed down and written two more challenges for March. They are for bringing more love to my life.

- Journal about anything that I love. I could probably write about the things or ideas. I can also write about the person that I admire which may include a current friend. With this process, I hope I can better understand which areas are already aligned well or the spots that need more work. Also, I can find more gratitude for my life. I dedicated 30 minutes for each day. It's like a small meditation time for myself.
- For the contract work, I was thinking about my wife - maybe she can reduce my work, but she said she will be only available at least after June. So currently I have to do it myself. I assessed how I do these car configurator projects and I've concluded that I can further reduce my work. For example, currently I have to run the build script manually when there is a change in the resources - this can be automated. My goal is working on this contract workflow optimization process. It's sometimes like DevOps stuff. But sometimes, I can also write small automation scripts for Unity.
I don't know how to track this every day, as this usually involves infrequent long, continuous work. Or sometimes, I can just brainstorm ideas to find the specific spot. But the idea for this is reducing the workload that I don't like. So marking failure(x) on the sheet is not a big deal, as the goal is more important. Anyway, I want to do it in a regular way so I stated that my goal is spending at least 30 minutes on this task.
