Finally, the First Post

I’ve been trying to write this first post for years, and the path to get here hasn’t been a straight line.

It all started with a simple idea: I needed to expose myself more to the online world. I wanted to have a space of my own, where people could find me, read what I think, and get a sense of who I am. A kind of professional and personal showcase.

At the time this idea took shape, I was unemployed. And like many, I had an old website that worked, but in my mind, it was never ideal. The design wasn’t exactly what I wanted, the structure seemed a bit off. It didn’t feel like me.

That was the first excuse. I convinced myself that, before I started writing, I needed to redo the entire site to make it perfect.

But the barrier wasn’t just technical or visual. There was another, perhaps even bigger one. I always thought that my posts, especially the first one, needed to be about something completely new. An original idea, a perspective that no one has ever had.

This was another form of procrastination. The search for absolute originality is as paralyzing as the search for the perfect design. In a world where everything has already been said, the pressure to be unprecedented is a recipe for silence.

The most ironic thing is that time went by. So much time that the situation changed completely. Today, I even have a job. All that free time I had was gone, and the first post still didn’t exist, hostage to a perfect website and a brilliant idea that never came.

It took a change of perspective. Today I see that it doesn’t have to be that way. A post doesn’t need to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes, the value is simply in expressing your opinion on something that everyone is already talking about. It’s about adding your voice to a conversation that already exists.

That’s what I want now. To be more active in the community, participate more, contribute more. To stop being just a spectator waiting for the perfect moment to enter the scene.

So, this post is it. It’s my decision to ignore the excuses. The site may not be perfect, and the idea is certainly not new. But both are good enough for what matters.

The important thing is not the stage, but what happens on it. And today, something is finally going to happen.
