Stoicism, Suffering, and What It Means to Stand Your Ground. Vegeta is the reason I love the entire Dragon Ball Franchise. Like most, I grew up with the Dragon Ball animes, I devoured all the mangas, deep dived into all the universes and arcs, even the most unfortunate ones like Dragon Ball GT, and I never fell off that ship… all because of Vegeta.

The Language of Loneliness

Maybe loneliness is a language of its own.

Lonely.

A few weeks ago, this word came up in class while we were studying its meaning in our language course. 寂寞 [jìmò], this is how you say it in Chinese, einsam in German, самотен [samoten] in Bulgarian, and solitario in Italian.

Maybe it’s because Bulgarian is my native language, but самотен feels heavier than any of the others. Even as I write it, I feel a weight settle on my chest. Funny, isn’t it?

I once read that we are emotionally attached to our mother tongue - that words carry different emotional weight depending on the language we use.

That's why some people can say "I love you" easily in English, yet struggle to say the same words in their native language.

A second language lets you detach and observe yourself from a safe distance.

The question I propose, today, is… how would you have turned out if you had grown up in a “FLATTED HOUSE” ? (1-2 cm)
