Pen

hello fellow humans.

i would like to share a bit on who I am and how this idea came to be. i’ve always been someone who was interested in a lot of different things. i was curious. i loved asking questions. i loved hearing answers even more. i worshipped art, music, culture, aesthetics, passions. i loved understanding the psychology behind it all, i loved relating to it – or not relating to it at all. but I always tried to understand it. i grew up under the pressure of having to chose a specific path, always finding myself in the same position of not wanting to limit myself to one thing. from dreaming of becoming an artist, a fashion designer, or diving into the movie industry, to considering paths in psychology, literature, and eventually finding my place in a news agency. yet i always remained curious in all of the above. In the end, I knew the only thing that allowed me to link all of my above interests was language and the written word. Writing allowed me to dive into whatever fascinated me, engage with people who interested me, and share my thoughts with anyone who might find something relatable. i’ve come to the realization that our interconnectedness runs deeper than we might think. through writing, i want to show this bond, asking questions that speak to many and encouraging others to join the discussion.

this is pen.
