After such a long time, I'm creating some content again I hope you enjoy! ♥

This is the first time in a very long time that I'm writing from my heart.

I commit right from the start to not post AI-created content, and as the first post on my blog, I feel like it's important for me to share my thoughts as raw as possible.

Once upon a time, I had a blog with a friend of mine. There, we posted poetry, short stories, drawings, whatever we wanted. This was 20 years ago and I found out recently that I missed that little part of me.

It was way past time I had my own little corner in the digital world, something small and cozy to call home*(page)* and given my experience with web development aligned with the beginning of a mobile development trail in my career, I felt like it was a good moment to keep my web development skills in practice. Here, I want you, whoever reads this, to feel comfortable, to feel embraced by me, my words and experiences.

My intention is to share thoughts, technical deep-dives, stories from my journey, and more.

I'm hoping, after a very long hiatus, to restart creative writing, something I started soon after my mother died in 2001. I was 12 years old, and writing kind of kept me alive for a reasonable amount of time.

Then things happened: young love, university, work, family, changing careers, losing myself, finding myself again. It's been emotionally exhausting and challenging.

Now, after all this time, these adventures, mistakes, surprises, successes, I feel like I have finally begun to comprehend myself, to learn to forgive myself, to try to live instead of survive.

Phew, intense, right? I didn't mean for it, but I won't apologize for it either. If you've read this far, thank you.

Hope I see you around.
