I finally rebalanced my portfolio.
The next morning, every asset I sold tripled.

There’s a moment from my childhood I still think about. I once found an old notebook hidden in the attic — full of strange half-finished sentences, as if someone stopped writing mid-thought. Every line felt like a message interrupted. I never found out who wrote it or why it was hidden.
That quiet mystery taught me something I still write about today:
that every life contains unfinished chapters, and sometimes the most important clues are the ones we stumble upon accidentally.
If I ever write it as a story, it won’t be about solving the mystery — but about what it awakens.

This summer I’m revisiting a mix of philosophy and storytelling — my two sources of balance.
• Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
• The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel
• The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
• And an annual tradition: Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse
I find that switching between reflection and adventure keeps my own writing grounded but imaginative.

I’d go to Middle-earth — but not to fight dragons or save kingdoms.
I’d choose the Shire, early morning, when the grass is wet and the world still feels safe.
I’d sit with a notebook, drink something warm, and ask the hobbits a question I ask myself often:
“How did you build a life simple enough to protect what matters?”
Some worlds teach you courage.
Others teach you pace.
The Shire teaches both.
