Hello world! What about me? | 18/03/26
Hey there, I know it has been a long time without news about me, and I apologize for those announcements I made before but didn't follow through on. So, what happened after April, when I was on fire? Basically, it was burnout. I was working on this page for about two months every day, putting aside many things I was doing before starting this web project. When I started this page, I was beginning my internship as a programmer, so this was like a practice area where I could create something to use at work. But then I finished my internship and continued the page as I did during my practice, programming 8 hours a day, which was a lot.
Well, when I finished my internship in April, I was working on it, but then in May exams started to eat my brain entirely because it was the end of the school year and I was really going crazy. I forgot about gaming and programming and started to use the Pomodoro technique to not lose myself with exams. I needed to retake my driving license theory exam, had 4 exams per week, and the library was my best friend at that time. Of course, that consumes your mind completely, and the last thing I wanted to do was update this page.
Ok amazing, the year ended, but I didn't find the motivation to come back to this page. I found a job and I forgot about free time. And if I had free time, it was summer and the only thing I wanted to do was meet up with my friends and walk around the city, not program or design something. To be honest, I thought I would leave my job in August and have more time, but life sometimes makes decisions how it wants without asking me, and I ended up working for 5 months.
Before my tech school started, my boss gave me a week of vacation where I was more free. Before, working 5 days for 8 hours and having 2 days off, having a full week free was pretty weird for me. So, to spend my time instead of being outside all the time, I also programmed this page sometimes when I had the vibes to do it. I made some updates for the Windows 7 CSS during that time and some fixes to the main pages, but then boom...
Hard times came from where I didn't expect them (mentally I was prepared, but physically I wasn't). It just fell from the sky, so I was working and studying, but this year is on fire with school materials. Hard exams where I started to fail because I didn't have much time for studying, and a job where I was working until 4 AM. My life at that moment was weird, like I was enjoying it but at the same time me and free time were like "huh? does it exist?". Thanks to my bosses for giving me Saturdays and Sundays off, so I had some free time on the weekend, but it was hard anyway. I was waiting for January, when I would leave this hell and start to live with my savings and enjoy life but...
Unemployment time, omg what a gorgeous time. I have my money that I can spend on whatever I want and I don't have to be paranoid about money because sometimes I make money with my PC (not as much as at my job, but enough to balance my spending). Now I have more time but I noticed that the job ruined my sleep schedule, and now sleep is something I spend too much time on. Energy drinks also influenced this, and now instead of being more productive, I'm spending my free time (which I have too much of now) on TikTok and doing stupid useless things. Also, I started being addicted to Diablo IV, and I would spend too much time on it.
And now, I'm back at the gym to try not to sleep all day, to stress my body and recover by sleeping at night instead of in the afternoon. Also, I'm trying to get over alcohol and vaping, because I don't have an addiction yet and I don't want to develop one.
So, in the end. As you can see, I'm alive, and all this time being inactive wasn't because of an easy life or because I don't care about my site. I wanted to finish my page, but I'm afraid to start making stuff. I'm afraid of adding new things to my page thinking "why would people like it?". But now, looking back at my errors and thinking about things, I want to do something personal, my personal space, making blogs, writing posts, sharing my thoughts. If someone sees it, amazing, but primarily I'm making this for myself, to look at it and be proud of my work.
Yes, I see this trend of using Cursor IDE or tools like that, and if I used that for my pages, it wouldn't be my project. I don't reject AI at any point. Instead, I use it to generate ideas, I use it as a colleague and assistant, but I write the code myself, checking everything and staying in control. I don't think I would like to program everything with Cursor, maybe for repetitive stuff or automation, but for things like what I'm making right now, I don't know...
Anyway, thank you for reading all my thoughts and my explanation. I wanted to post an apology for promises that I never completed, but now, updating my amazing new index page, I found a new place to share it.
See ya!
