Character Building
Another day when I chose to be alone. The weather is too gray for socializing. My head can no longer take people in, but I cannot stay away from people either. I ended up in the café on the corner near home. Spring is about to end, but summer is not coming either. It showed…

The Human Element in Work and Borders
One of the main reasons I chose engineering was that I didn’t want to deal with people. The other reasons were creativity, problem-solving, and so on. After I entered working life, I realized that the real problem was people. Even the most technical project had people as its biggest problem. Today, technology has developed even…

The Noises and Aesthetics of Expression
Human beings want to express themselves. They can’t keep it inside; the more they do, the harder it gets, turning into a kind of noise within. The purpose of expression is not always to convey something to others; sometimes it is simply to get rid of that noise, to make space for new kinds of…

Veganism,Apoliticalitism and Thousand other Problems
Morning alarm rings. Snooze. Again. Again. You’re right. Life is already hard. You don’t have to solve humanity’s crisis before even getting out of bed. You open your phone.

Gut Feeling
An encounter in an infinite universe…A comfort as if you’ve known each other for years, so natural, so relax…Yet secretly a quiet distance remains. It’s hard to call it a gain or a loss. Neither good nor bad. Perhaps this is exactly what we mean by being. One can feel close without knowing. Maybe not at…

The Surreal Nature of Grief and Memory
Exactly 21 years ago today, one of the events that changed the way I look at lifeö perhaps the very first. took place. For the first time, I saw how people I had perceived as solid and unshakable in childhood could be completely shattered by an unexpected blow. I saw everyone at their weakest. I…

My Journey Through Social Disconnect
The text is about me. It’s more of an analysis of myself and a conversation with myself. Photo by Samuel Austin on Unsplash Throughout my life, the feeling I’ve had has always been the same: on the outside, normal and adaptive; on the inside, a few steps removed from the flow of the world. I…
