coping
Life presents variables; learning how to cope in order to master, minimize, or tolerate what has come to pass.
UNDERSTAND OR CONDEMN
The old story of "give mercy, not execute", was an example of our generation's learning of Estonian grammar, how the choice of the place of the comma can completely change the meaning of the sentence, but since the landlord did not have a good relationship with commas, the comma was placed in the second place instead. "Not to pardon, but to execute" and only because of the comma, the one who actually wanted to be pardoned lost his life.

Change with Hope, Not Despair
Growing up, I was well-acquainted with Mr. Wilson from down the street. Eccentric? Sure. But Mr. Wilson was a study in contrasts. For a decade, he lived in a dimly lit house, all because he was afraid of changing a ten-year-old lightbulb. "It’s a collector's item!" he'd declare. Then one day, armed with courage (and a nudge from a visiting niece), he replaced it. The result? A luminescent epiphany that transformed his view on change. "Why didn't I do this sooner?" he exclaimed, squinting in the newfound brightness, probably also realizing that his wallpaper was horribly outdated.

Finding Balance in a Tilted World
It all began on a peculiar morning, the day I anointed myself the "Extreme Armchair Expert". As the alarm clock rang with a blare that might've roused the dead (and I wished I were one of them), I sipped coffee that felt like molten tar and stared at a computer screen so bright I feared I'd develop a tan. How, I mused, did the only thing not going to extremes turn out to be my physical exertion? The most "extreme" thing about my day was the inclination of my chair, precisely calibrated to provide maximum comfort with minimum effort.

Turbulence and Snacks
“I just want to feel like I’m not crazy”, I told the doctor. I am clinically insane. Pretty sure. But it wasn’t the insanity I wanted to highlight, and even if a holiday to a padded cell, with all the drugs and three square meals a day sounded delightful right now, I need to learn to exist in this world, sadly.
