To truly answer “Who am I?” I'd have to write a book—or a few. Not because I'm particularly special or all that interesting, but because it’s the toughest question out there. Oh, see? Already in the first sentences, you’ve stumbled into my philosophical side. It just happens—sorry, not sorry.
By day, I work as a freelancer in SEO/SEM and digital strategy to keep the lights on. By nature, I spend a lot of time reflecting, writing, and trying to make sense of this strange experience we call life. I tend to look at things through a spiritual and philosophical lens—sometimes raw, sometimes cynical, always searching, avoiding final conclusions.
I write to stay sane. To say what others won’t. To untangle the absurdity, the pain, and the beauty of it all.
In my personal life, I care about movement, meditation, and the quiet rituals that keep the mind and body in conversation. Music has been deeply important to me since childhood, and dance was once a lifeline during a dark chapter. While I never pursued it seriously, it still reminds me that expression doesn’t always need words. Now in my 30s, I still carry a quiet dream to return to it more deeply someday—to rejoin and support that wonderful world of artistic energy.
So, who am I? Just someone trying to stay awake in a world that keeps asking us to numb out. If that resonates with you, stick around.
