Direction
At this point, I can't even begin to imagine where this place might eventually lead me. That might be because I don’t have a clearly defined purpose for starting this blog. However, for quite some time now, I’ve been haunted by thoughts I’d like to capture in some form. The fundamental idea is to keep this blog as anonymous as possible, which will hopefully allow me a level of freedom in the content that could end up giving it some meaning.
Purpose
There are many reasons why I’ve finally decided to launch this initiative. A fair share of them are quite pragmatic—so much so that I almost feel silly listing them here. But I think the most important reason is a simple need for expression—transforming chaotic thoughts into some sort of structured form. Will it work? I don’t know, but I’ve decided to give it a shot.
Format
I haven’t quite nailed down the final format of this blog yet. I focused on just winning this one round against procrastination—and if you’re reading this, it means I succeeded. The plan is to publish posts spontaneously, on various topics, though I’ll try to stick to subjects that I personally care about and where I feel I can say something meaningful. Of course, there’ll be nonsense and heresies too, so feel free to comment, debate, or criticize. I’ll try to introduce post categories soon so everything can be filtered easily. Topics I definitely want to explore include: lifestyle (general observations), psychology, finance, philosophy, and relationships—especially male-female dynamics.
Concerns
There are honestly too many to even try and summarize sensibly. Some stem from my personality, others from the fact that I’ve never written any long-form content before. I can only hope that over time I’ll develop some fluency in this craft—if I manage to squeeze out even a small spark of talent.
Context
If you’ve made it through this first, probably boring, post—I owe you some context and a few words about myself. I’m a guy from a small town in the post-Soviet bloc, although I spent most of my life growing up in the EU. I work as a programmer—mainly on mobile apps, though I come from a web development background. Almost 8 years ago, I decided to quit the profession I was trained in (and hated) to pursue something I at least somewhat enjoyed and had a knack for. I'm now well into my third decade of life, and while I can’t complain about finances thanks to my job, my life is far from ideal.
I’ll go out on a limb and say I’m single by choice, though it’s entirely possible I’m lying to myself. But let’s stick with that version for now. Fortunately, I’m not your typical tech guy, and I think I might have something interesting to say about male-female relationships. I believe that topic will be one of the more engaging ones—unlike the more career-related stuff, which I’ll try to limit to general financial or lifestyle reflections.
I think that’s enough for now. The rest will unfold in future posts. Thanks for reading!
