The idea is for this thread to be a kind of a journal/diary, I had tried to journal before but I ended up pushing it to the side, which probably is what is going to happen again, but let's enjoy it while it lasts.
I'm almost entering my 30s and I'm at a point in my life where, I look back and wonder about the things that I could have done differently, but also I don't regret the choices that I made, because they made the person that I'm today.
But there's i question that I found online I think it's by Charles Bukowski and goes like "Can you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be?"
and recently I've been wondering on this. Funny enough I had a talk with my parents about when I was a little kid, and we were talking about how I didn't care about anything else but toys and playing video games, I remember being so immersed in my world, it was like I was living in two worlds at the same time.
Fast forward a couple of years I got into science and I loved to learn about how things work, my TV was always on the Discovery channel. I was so ecstatic when they told me that I was getting my first Chemistry and Physics class at school, but then the classes were boring nothing as I had imagined. I had thought that we'll be doing so much more experiments instead we were just memorizing a much of formulas and we didn't know why we need them in the first place.
Just in my mid-20s, I realize that you don't need school to educate yourself, you have the internet and now more than ever we have access to books and lectures from all over the world, and from people that love to teach that's an important part.
I like to learn about a fast array of topics and I feel that's my life purpose
PS. The title for this blog is from Marcus Aurelius's book, it was the first thing that come up to my mind, and I think it couldn't be a better suitable name.
