I was a wanderer drifting through cyberspace in search of a place to call home. The mainstream side of the internet had nothing left to offer me, except for algorithms, ads, cheap dopamine hits, bots arguing with bots, NFT scams, clowns dancing in neon cages, and 3-second videos made for people with fried up attention spans. The need to escape all that noise and toxicity, and create something truly mine grew louder with every passing day.

Before coming here, I launched my first blog on WordPress, mainly as an experiment. I held on to it for about a year before deciding to move away from it, as I grew more and more frustrated. The clean, sleek, but flat and soulless design typical of modern platforms (that makes all websites look exactly the same) made it difficult to build a space that truly felt like my own, where my real voice could thrive. I was looking for something more organic, fully free and fully customizable, in the spirit of old YouTube channels, Geocities, Blogspot, etc. That's how I found my way here. Without prior knowledge of HTML or even coding in general, just with my drive for personal creation and desire to make it reality.

I'm starting here the same way I did with my last blog, without a clear plan or idea of what it will become, just a need to make something of my own. Maybe it will grow into something great and meaningful, or it won’t become anything at all. Either way, it exists and it's mine, and that’s enough for now.
