“Everything you can imagine is real.”
― Pablo Picasso
Dear international friends…
We need to talk.
Reflecting on my blogging journey, I realize there are things I regret—perhaps you’ve noticed if you’ve been following my blog for a while. Specifically, I’m referring to those moments of black humor and dark jokes that, unfortunately, alienated some readers. It pains me to think about those who didn’t understand my sense of humor, but the truth is, I crossed the line. I lost sight of boundaries, and some of those jokes went too far.
What was I thinking? At the time, I was deeply isolated and, to be honest, found a strange comfort in that solitude within my local community.
But why? How did it come to this? Four years ago, my family faced a tragedy that changed everything. In my grief, I convinced myself that I had every right to lash out—at my country, my society, and the people around me. I became disconnected from my community and, worse, stopped feeling any pride in being a part of it.
I was wrong.
Of course, there was some meaning in writing the truth—highlighting topics that people often avoid or fail to notice. However, this approach came with its own set of risks, particularly to my reputation and personal dignity. While honesty is important, I realize now that I should never have lost my sense of boundaries. Even when expressing disagreement, I should have maintained at least a basic level of respect for others, especially those whom I disagreed with.
So, what happened?
Since joining my current company, I’ve noticed that people treat me much more kindly than before. What’s even more remarkable is how they show respect for one another, regardless of their backgrounds. Reflecting on how I was treated in the past, my current situation feels like a significant improvement. This shift has made me realize that perhaps I need to change the way I approach my own community and the people around me. When you adjust your perspective and behavior, the world often responds accordingly.
Sincere apologies to those affected by my words:
Not only on this blog but to anyone who once had a connection with me—even those who may have blocked me on messaging apps but still read this blog for ‘some’ reason—I want to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize for my past selfishness.
When the tragedy struck my family, I convinced myself, as I’ve mentioned before, that I had every right to be rude and selfish at times. Unfortunately, this mindset led to unintended consequences, namely isolation and loneliness. When I needed help, I should have reached out rather than pushing others away. When I wanted to connect, I should have practiced kindness rather than feeding into negativity.
To anyone who was affected by my words, I offer my heartfelt apologies.
What’s next with this blog?
The key to moving forward is kindness and productivity. From this point on, both I and this blog will change. Initially, this blog began as a space for photography infused with creative writing, and my goal is to return it to that original purpose. While my current circumstances may limit how often I can go out to shoot photos, I still want to focus on writing rather than turning this into a tech tutorial blog.
About a week ago, I launched a separate tech blog, so I’ll be migrating all tech-related posts there. This blog will remain dedicated to philosophical and creative writing, with occasional touches of photography.
The world is your oyster:
Albert Einstein once famously said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”
I wholeheartedly believe this to be true. The world is brimming with possibilities, waiting to be discovered by you. Imagine the boundless potential you hold and the incredible things you could accomplish in this life. Yet, as we navigate through the world, we often face discouragement—whether it’s due to age, geopolitical barriers, or countless other limitations.
But just think—what could you achieve if time and money were no obstacles? How far could you travel? Sure, there will always be those who try to pull us down with their so-called “reality checks,” but let’s not forget: we are already living an impossible life in an impossible universe.
When you allow yourself to imagine once more, you’ll gain an entirely new perspective on the world—and on what’s truly possible.
Conclusion:
So, I’ll continue writing and posting here with a mindset rooted in positivity and productivity. What truly matters is to keep imagining and keep learning. When you stop imagining, you stop truly living. When you stop learning, you stop truly living either. Without these, you are merely existing—and don’t be one of them.
As I mentioned earlier, this blog is returning to its original purpose—a creative writing space enriched with photographic elements.
See you in future posts!
