A blog, in 2023? Really?
Well, yes. I have got it into my head that I want to be a writer, a person who shares their thoughts to the world and is not afraid of speaking what I consider to be the truth.
For the last few years I've been reading a lot of Philosophy, and I notice I have a lot of strong opinions. I have also realized that for almost my entire life I have lived with a "what would other people think" mentality that has made me miss out on a lot.
So what do these things have to do with starting a blog? Well, first of all if I want to be good at expressing myself and even to become a writer, I need to have a lot of practice in simply writing. So my challenge to myself now is to write one blog post every week or so for the foreseeable future.
What about? Anything and everything, I watch a lot of TV and movies and play games, maybe I want to write down some thoughts whenever I have watched something? Maybe something happening in the news or society that I want to comment on? Maybe some writing exercises will be posted here.
As of right now I am not announcing to anyone that I create this blog, as I wrote above I still struggle with letting people know what I truly mean, I hate getting attention that is all about "Amir". Hopefully this blog will help me build the confidence to not care so much, and to let my voice be heard.
