Dear Giovanna,

I am depressed

With me that has to do with the future or the past. It's always been like this,

and I'll never change. The question I like most is: who would I be without my

story, reborn in every moment?

Hm... does that work?

I do that when I think I want something from them. My being nice is not honest.

I try to manipulate and get angry if it doesn't work to get what I think I want.

Sure. Start wherever you're at.

Eventually you do the work on yourself and find that Giovanna is the neighbour

you have been looking for.

That's a start!

So your neighbour is God.

From time to time.

What do you need from him?

Well, everyone has his path.
