For a while now, I have been feeling that there is just too much noise in the world. The internet is a waterfall of impressions that never stops and most of it isn't even that good/useful/beautiful. I have been craving something slower and more deliberate. I think maybe that is why I haven't written here since late last year. I feel bad about it and apologise to everyone who would have liked me to. I just didn't feel like adding to the noise. I didn't think I had so much to say. Nothing of essence, anyway. But I don't know, maybe I am back? On an internet where half of the content is now AI-generated, maybe it makes sense to add some human-made stuff. And anyway, I do still like reading people's writing online – I was applying this crazy bar of having to say something exceptional only to myself. Who am I to decide what others want to read? Maybe just how I look forward to some newsletters, maybe (maybe) some people look forward to mine. Not everything is about efficiency, novelty and whatever, sometimes it's about self-expression and connection. And there is nothing wrong with that.
