2 years of procrastination creating this blog

This blog has been running in my head for almost 2 years. I imagined a space for me to share thoughts, questions, and ideas about life and design. Not to be tied to any social media platform but rather having my own place to post.

Becoming a full-time designer evoked thoughts that I wanted to explore and share

In August 2022 I made a bold decision to leave the electronics and drones space in order to pursue my passion as a full-time graphic designer.

When I was 10 years old, I opened Photoshop for the first time to design a logo of my own for a gaming forum I was browsing daily. I wanted to have a cool logo to put in my signature after a forum member designed one I didn’t like.

3.5 years ago, I made the shift to be a 100% designer. Finally, both my passion and my job became one. As days progressed in the new job, I found myself thinking about ideas and wandering through thoughts. Over time I found that many thoughts were stacking up that I wasn’t exploring at all, or I forgot to dive deep into them. From that point, I started writing things that came into my head in a notebook or in Notes on my iPhone.

What made me procrastinate for so long?

And the question that this post is raising is what made me procrastinate for so long? What makes us procrastinate on things we wish to do and pursue in our life? Is it technical skills? Usually, it’s not really that. Is it prioritization? Is it issues with self-belief or self-esteem? Maybe it's just life...

FFor me, regarding this blog, it's a mix. Thoughts like, who is starting a blog in 2025 when most people’s attention is on social media and short video formats? Will my writing really matter to anyone? I’m just a rookie, a 26-year-old guy. Who will be interested in reading this? What if I start and after a few posts stop posting? Is it really worth the energy?

Mindset of exploration

So the mindset here is exploration. An adventure of sharing my world, my perspective, my thoughts, my questions, my beliefs, my point of view. I hope it will reach, touch, and impact those who read it, and as I keep posting, I will understand more about myself as well.
