An introduction to everyday stories

This page contains all the stories. I add to them and edit them regularly, which is why it's useful to be logged in so you know what you've already read, since sections of pages you've already read may have changed since the last time you read them. There are currently 191 stories, 32 of which are already available.

Unlike a normal book, there isn't really an order in which to read the stories on this page (I may change that in the future). I've split this page into 3 parts: a first part with 20 stories, of which 3 are already available, about moments that really convinced me; a second part with reflections I've had, with 103 stories, of which 19 are already available; and a final part with little funny everyday situations showing that you can live normally with this extra thing, with 68 stories, of which 10 are already available.

An analogy with an FM radio station

I'm trying my best to sum up what it looks like, but it's not easy to sum up a thing that's been going on nonstop since 2021 (I think, but sometimes I tell myself, when did it really start?) It's like asking someone to summarize an FM radio station over several years, how do you even do that? Anyway, what's certain is that since Q2 2026 it's gotten better since I see it positively.

Before I experienced it as well as I do now, I didn't understand what was going on and who these weird French expat neighbors were in my neighborhood in Copacabana Flag of Brazil. I'm gonna try to tell the story from the « beginning ».

The idea behind this mural is to explain how much time passed from when it « started » until I eventually learned to live it well. Because for me, that's the real solution to what people call « schizophrenia » or « gangstalking »/« targeted individual »: it's not for it to stop, in the sense that we would no longer hear them at all, but to make the experience become enjoyable and positive.

In my case, it took about 5 years before I reached what I call the positive switch: changing my mindset and considering what was happening to me as something positive. For a long time I lived it really badly, talking about torture, sleep deprivation, daily provocations, an obligatory conversation that never stops, and so on, like many people do. Until I understood that it was something positive.

Okay, I admit that the design of this time mural isn't great at the moment. I need to improve it, but managing this project isn't easy with all the content creation and feature development alongside my main job. I'd love to be able to work on it full-time.

Moments I’ve lived through since the « start » of this story, which little by little have convinced me and, I hope, will convince you too.
