Roadmap

After battling illness for some time, I’m excited to slowly start building a fulfilling life with my family. This journey is about growth, pursuing my dreams, and working toward my goals. With the support of those around me, I’m ready to take the next step and create the life I’ve always wanted.

Let me continue with a more personal introduction, though feel free to skip ahead if you prefer.

I’ve come to recognize that I have not just social anxiety but also some autistic traits in myself, which I’m learning to embrace as a valuable part of who I am. This self-awareness has deepened my understanding of how I experience the world.

I do face challenges in social situations, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like being around others. I love spending time with close friends, particularly through activities that feel natural to me, like going on walks or engaging in parallel play (where people share experiences side by side without the need for constant interaction). I value meaningful connections and am always open to spending time together in ways that work for everyone involved.

I also have a deep love for animals, music, and expressing myself creatively. Nature, cooking, and maintaining my health are important to me, along with film, reading, and exercise, all of which help me stay grounded.

A major passion of mine is advocating for inclusivity and the rights of every life, particularly when it comes to issues like bullying, disabilities, animal welfare, animal rights, wildlife protection, and sustainability. I’m fascinated by technology, ethics, innovation, science, and learning about different cultures and languages. I’m also excited about tackling challenges and problems through hands-on projects.

Programming is another passion of mine and a key part of this blog. I’ll use this space to explore ideas, document my experiences, and tackle challenges. I also plan to create occasional YouTube videos to dive deeper into these topics, which may evolve into something more. I’ve wanted to create content to teach and share programming concepts for a while.

Stay tuned – there’s so much more to come!
