Hard drives, unlike other computer components, are still mechanical, and writing and reading operations are performed mechanically within the hard disk drive (HDA). We all know that a simple bump can cause the spinning arm and head of the HDA to misalign and result in the loss of data stored in its position. Now, imagine combining this with the use of a traditional hard drive (not solid-state drive) in a laptop. It’s like a recipe for disaster, waiting for the inevitable drop or bump that could potentially cause data loss.

I recently had a first-hand experience with the consequences of using a mechanical hard drive in a laptop. Despite my efforts to be careful with my device, I was faced with a situation where a simple bump caused my hard drive to fail. Half a terabyte of data was lost in a moment, and there was no going back.

In my case, I was able to recover some of my data through various data recovery methods. However, it was a painful and time-consuming process. It’s a lesson that I’ll never forget, and one that I hope others can learn from. If you’re still using a traditional mechanical hard drive, consider switching to a solid-state drive to prevent data loss due to physical shocks and bumps. Trust me, it’s worth it in the long run.

Today, I had the intention to write, but nothing came to mind. I leaned back in my chair and let out a sigh. Suddenly, a loud noise startled me. I had to find a new topic, as the original idea wasn’t coming to me. I ended up choosing a different subject, one that was less expensive. Now, I will have to endure the noise.

I reduced my smoking habit. I quit half the amount I used to smoke. The weather is very warm today. Let’s save up and travel to the North Pole little by little.

I renewed my blog’s domain. It was twice the price compared to last year.

Today is also the birthday of Parvin Etesami. I remembered her poem “Drunk and Sober.” Parvin Etesami was a renowned poet of Iran who was born on February 8th. Her works still have an impact on Iranian literature and culture.

Recently, I found myself in a difficult situation. After enrolling in a university far from my hometown, I realized that it wasn’t the right fit for me. I felt unfulfilled and unhappy with my situation, and I wasn’t sure what to do next.

Then, one of my friends who was studying at a better branch of the same university in my hometown suggested that we can switch our branches. He had decided that he didn’t want to continue at his current university, and I finally had the chance to continue my education closer to home.

The process of transferring was not easy. There was a lot of paperwork involved, and I had to travel back and forth between the two universities multiple times. Despite these challenges, I persevered and am so glad I did.

Now, I am happily studying at my new university, which is only a short 10-minute drive from my home. I am so grateful for this opportunity to be in a place where I feel comfortable and happy.

Sometimes, a person’s heart becomes heavy. Neither a good book can change their mood, nor a scientific conversation, nor sleeping, nor drinking tea or coffee, nor even walking with an old friend. Nothing works. The pain persists. So they start walking, from one city to another. The weather is still the same, they light a cigarette, thinking maybe this will help, but it doesn’t. They are still sad. Nothing can change their state of mind. They are tired, their heart remains heavy and it will stay that way. Nothing can change their mood anymore.

As humans, we all have moments where we feel down and nothing seems to lift our spirits. It can be difficult to pinpoint what’s causing the heavy heart, but sometimes it just seems to come out of nowhere. The feeling of being stuck and helpless can be overwhelming, and it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that there’s nothing that can change our current state.

But what if I told you that there’s always a way out of this feeling? That there’s always something that can change our mood and give us a new perspective on life. It may not come in the form of a book, a conversation, or a friend, but it can come in many other shapes and sizes. For example, try practicing gratitude by listing three things you’re thankful for each day. Or, engage in a physical activity like exercise, which has been proven to boost endorphins and improve mood.

Another way to change our state of mind is by traveling, meeting new people, trying new experiences, and stepping out of our comfort zone. Sometimes, a change of scenery is all we need to shake off the heavy heart. But if that’s not possible, try to find new and creative ways to bring joy into your life. Whether it’s through art, music, cooking, or any other hobby that brings you happiness, find what works for you and stick with it.

Remember, it’s important to give yourself time and space to process your feelings, but it’s equally important to not get stuck in them. There’s always a way out, and there’s always something that can change our mood and give us a fresh start. So take a deep breath, be kind to yourself, and try to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
