I left my previous life as a designer to figure out who I really want to be and how I truly want to live. I struggle with chronic ill health and my existence. The journey to understand and reconcile all of this is expressed in the form of a regularly published public journal. To get a sense of my writing, I’ve curated a list of posts, and there is also a list of popular posts that seem to resonate with people.
I am led to shape myself in a very specific way because of my life experiences, so there are certain topics I tend to keep publishing:
- my psyche and general ambivalence towards life
- health, fitness & self-quantifying
- philosophy & psychology
- photoessays
- ugly drawings
- covid cautiousness, and the impact of it on my life
philosophy behind this site
I take the long view for this website, tend to it like a garden, and apart from being my personal learning library, it is my online therapeutic space.
more bits and pieces
- why I write, and how I write
- general metaphysical beliefs
- the story rules our lives, until we break free of it
- why I deliberately lead a purposeless life
- collection of books that changed my life
- …and why I’m trying to process them in order to share their insights on this website
- when it all started: the year I broke up with myself (20k+ word medium post)
- I don’t have much hope for the future of humanity because we are not addressing the core issue: our psyches
