I’m here because I’m fed up.

I have let fear dominate my life; I have coasted through school, daydreamed without end, and ended up in a miserable job all because of fear. Fear of failure. Fear of humiliation. Fear of confronting the ego. I will do everything in my power to make this blog the first step against that. No more coasting. No more hiding genuine feelings behind internet irony. No more staring out the window after another day of consumption without reciprocation. I have thoughts and the skill to express them; it’s the least I can do. I hope to discover myself and maybe even help you discover you.

That said, I plan to have fun. I sound dead serious right now, and my motivation truly is, but I have a wealth of unexpressed joy that this blog should help me encapsulate. The modern social media landscape is engineered for shallowness and negativity: good take bad take, ego investment in products, how-do-you-dos and TLDRs. I had the impression blogging was long dead, but it was the only reasonable outlet I could think of. Turns out it’s still alive and well, albeit as hyperoptimized for capitalism and algorithms at the top level as anywhere else. I don’t expect nor particularly want to make money from here, so I’ll keep it simple and non-stupid. If I get any sort of meaning by sharing the meaning I get out of life, that’s enough.

Let’s talk!
