I used to be someone who:
- Never wrote anything on a blog.
- Wandered the streets with friends until late night.
- Had no indoor plants in my flat.
- Didn’t think to take notes on what I was reading.
But things have changed.
- Now, I write regularly on this blog about programming, poetry, and my random reflections.
- I’ve prioritized sleep and limited late-night wanderings.
- My flat is now home to many plants.
- I take notes on what I read, both here and on Notion.
So, what happened?
I’ve changed—a lot, actually.
As I grow, every part of my life evolves with me. I’m constantly reading, learning, and experiencing new things, which shape my ideologies and perspectives over time. Sometimes, they change in an instant; other times, it takes months or even years. I can’t stop this from happening, and I don’t want to.
Because I know it’s a natural part of my growth. Having an open mind and boundless curiosity drives me to keep learning and evolving me as a better human. I’m constantly reinventing myself, so I’m not the same person you met yesterday.
What’s the problem with that?
The truth is, I’m ready for change. But sometimes, it feels like certain people expect me to stay exactly as I was when they first knew me. They’ll say, “You’ve changed” or even mock me for it. While I don’t usually worry about others’ opinions, I do wish they understood that positive change is good, not only for me but also for the people around me. I hope one day they will.
What’s next?
My goal is to improve a little every day, constantly learning and unlearning whatever I need to become a better person. This journey of growth is ongoing, and change is both inevitable and, ultimately, for the best. So please bear with me.
