Alright, let’s cut the fluff. We all have to start somewhere, and for some of us, that means diving headfirst into the chaos of life with a keyboard in hand. Starting this blog isn’t just some hobby; it’s my escape hatch from the madness that is my daily grind as a software developer, manager of teams, frequent traveler and the reluctant referee in my kids' epic battles over who gets the last cookie. Between deadlines, bugs, and the occasional existential crisis, this blog is my little corner of sanity.


Man with a beard and bun looks tired, resting head on hand at desk with laptop. Chart on wall. Monochrome drawing, pensive mood.
Tired, but still alive.

This space provides an opportunity for me to pause, express myself, and organize my thoughts in a way that makes sense to me. Here, I can delve into my interests, share my mistakes, and connect with others who might be experiencing the same ups and downs of life. Each post serves as a step on my journey of self-discovery, allowing me to figure out what I'm doing while inviting you all to join me.

In essence, this blog is more than just a collection of thoughts; it's a tribute to the power of expression and a reminder that even amidst chaos, we can find some creative peace. So, buckle up my overworked millennials, because I’m about to dive into some important topics, share valuable insights on overcoming life's bullshit, and create a community of like-minded individuals who are just trying to navigate this crazy, fast-paced world without losing their damn minds.



Why This Blog Matters for Overworked Millennials

  • A Personal Outlet: This blog is my damn space to spill my guts without worrying about who’s judging me. It’s a refuge where I can let it all hang out—my fears, my screw-ups, and those rare moments of triumph. Writing it all down helps me make sense of the chaos, providing a much-needed release that feels both messy and liberating.

  • Community Connection: In a world that can feel like a lonely hellhole, finding people who get my struggles is priceless. This blog is my way of reaching out to fellow warriors on the same battlefield. We can swap stories, back each other up, and create a sense of belonging that reminds us we’re not in this shit alone. The conversations that come from this connection can be eye-opening as we learn from each other’s wild rides.

  • Self-Discovery: Every post I crank out isn’t just a reflection of where I’m at; it’s also a step toward figuring out who the hell I am. Writing helps me peel back the layers of my identity, beliefs, and desires that I didn’t even know were lurking in there. This journey of self-exploration gives me clarity about what I want in life and pushes me toward growth and change.

  • Creative Solace: In the midst of life’s chaos and bullshit, writing is my therapy. It’s a way to channel my emotions into something that actually means something. Whether I’m dealing with stress, joy, or confusion, turning my thoughts into words becomes a refuge, helping me find some semblance of peace in the storm.
