A personal newsletter by Jonathan Her chronicling his life changes: applying to become a volunteer firefighter at 40-something, a half-day pizza-making course with his wife, and a career break after leaving a job that didn't fit. The writing is candid and reflective, offering a personal diary-like account rather than expert guidance.

Diedulis is a Lithuanian newsletter of reflective, literary essays that move between small everyday scenes, such as a bench by a Kaunas road or a market on a Sunday, and wider questions about loneliness, belonging and shared life.
