Have you ever wondered what the meaning of life is? Why we go out and get careers or do any of it?
Me too! Very Extensively. I almost can’t stop thinking about it.
That’s what the point of this blog is!
For almost three years now I’ve wanted to start a blog. Originally, I had this vision that it would be psychology focused (since I was studying psychology) but I just never started it for three main reasons:
-
- I was embarrassed my friends and family would find it (and that is possibly the most mortifying thing that could happen in my entire life)
-
- Who was I, some random psychology student, to write with authority about psychology
-
- Whilst I had the dream of making money writing online I just never went for it and started
So this is me in all my glory, finally saying f*ck it and starting a blog.
So Who Am I?
In order to tackle that number one reason from before for not starting a blog, I’m going to stay kind of anonymous (at least for now).
But here are some details I can tell you:
-
- I’m trying to pivot out of a degree I previously thought I wanted to do
-
- I did the thing that every other twentysomething year old did in 2023 and solo travelled all around Europe
-
- I have almost no idea what I want to do in life right now
-
- I have struggled with a lot of different things growing up like everyone else
-
- and I think WAY too much
The purpose of life, career choices, family life, and relationships are just some of the things that I’m struggling with right now in my very own quarter life crisis.
But reaching out to many other people in their twenties I realised that everyone else seems to be struggling (or has already struggled) with the same things that I’m experiencing right now in some degree.
Which leads me to the next question…
What’s The Point of This Blog?
Honestly, I’m not completely sure yet.
Remember when I said I think way too much? I can’t stress this enough – I cannot turn my brain off. I’m a guy – we’re meant to be able to switch our brains off right?
Apparently not all of us.
At the very least, this website is a way to express my thoughts. Get everything down on a page so that I can look back in 5 years and think ahh what in the world was going on with you back then?
But I do also want this to be a place that other people can (hopefully) find that they relate to a bunch of things that I’m writing about and also struggling with.
Hopefully I can bring my own voice and humour (albeit pretty dry humour) to the trainwreck that is being a twentysomething year old, or however old you are for that matter.
Another note on that – the name of this blog is by no means meant to ostracise anyone older than the quarter life period from being able to relate to the things I’m writing about too.
The name just represents where I’m at currently being an early twentysomething year old – as well as my how clueless I am about actually having answers to the things I’m writing about.
Which also leads me to a little warning…a lot of the things I will be writing about I will have no advice for whatsoever. Which in a way is kind of comforting…right?
If you don’t know what I’m doing – and I don’t know what I’m doing – then in a way we’re all on the right track.
But some things I might have some answers for and where this happens I’ll try my best to give my own thoughts and advice on a topic. But by no means is this advice correct. I mean who’s going to take the wisdom from a twentysomething year old?
In Conclusion…
I’m pretty pumped to start this and make a tonne of mistakes and keep failing.
I think that’s what the quarter life is for (definitely not foreshadowing a future post here…).
I’ve started an X (twitter) account too which is feeling like will be a bunch of sh*tposts and other thoughts boiled down on a no pressure level. If you feel like shooting me a follow I promise I’ll try my best to deliver.
See you along the way and feel free to reach out always. I’d love to hear your thoughts on a topic and maybe collate these into a bunch of stories.
Talk soon 🤙
