I write... I think... I feel. Trying to cope with life with humour. And I’m still trying to understand myself.

I quit my job in tech because I couldn’t find any joy in it anymore.

I felt like I was just doing what society told me to do... being “good” according to their rules.

I couldn’t take it anymore. I couldn’t keep pretending to live while feeling half-alive.

So I went back to my first passion... my first love: writing.

Now, I’m building my life around writing and humor.

I write to feel. I write to understand myself and make sense of the world.

And honestly? I feel lighter every time I let it out.

If you like my style, and you think we could create something great together... send me a DM. 

I’d love to connect.

Be grateful they didn't ask you what's your Reddit's username, I_k****d_My_Friends. 

And I really hope your friends were imaginary. 

But kidding aside, I would've said no too. 
You did the right thing.

Adaptable engineer with a strong foundation in network and system administration. Eager to apply technical expertise and embrace new challenges to contribute to team success.

Writer | Remembering how to be awesome... One word... One meme... At a time. Technically a content creator.

Forget AI. 
Forget Hustling. 
Forget Crypto. 
Forget Gold. 
Farming is the future.

Imagine if every rejection email came with a stuffed animal... I'd be a millionaire.

Me: I'm so important to this whole operation. They can't do anything without me. I'm the one who stops and starts things!! I'm everything. 

What I do:

First of all... Wow, I wish I had 0.0000000000001% of your confidence! 

Secondly, it is a ridiculous perspective.

And it made me think how we do this to ourselves all the time:
We dream about something, we make it happen, then it becomes normal and we don't appreciate it enough. 

We need to be prouder of ourselves and our achievements.

The world is on fire.

Reddit: It's all a simulation, man. It's all part of the aliens' plan.

X: I'm Team Y. **** you. Make it rain fire, Y.

Facebook: We're all gonna die. No. We're all dead.

TikTok: Fake AI-generated catastrophic videos!! Making people panic is fun!!

LinkedIn: OK, but can we talk about why AI is so awesome even though it sucks?

Instagram: Omg omg omg omg, who wore it better? WE HAVE TO KNOW!!!!

After reading 17,410,454 posts about it... I can safely say: 
Bad Bunny is actually good.

Kid Rock doesn't really rock.

And apparently Kendall Jenner has too many exes. This is somehow relevant. 

Anyway, at least we didn't see any AI caricatures yesterday. 
That's a win.

P.S. The super bowl is not an actual bowl.

Writer on LinkedIn & Substack. Remembering how to be awesome and helping you remember too. Quit my job to do this... and yes, jokes and real talk can co-exist.

Numerically last week was my most successful week on LinkedIn...
I got more than 300,000 impressions in the last 8 days.

I posted 8 original posts (They all did normal or below normal)
I posted a screenshot from reddit. (Went viral 198k impressions) 
3 Videos from the Olympics (all did well 72k, 21k, 20k)

So the point is... The algorithm doesn't hate me personally, it just thinks my original posts and memes are s**t.

Rude, algo, very rude.

They reject me and then keep me in their "system" just to reject me again later. 

Job hunting is fun!

Life goal: Marry an Olympian athlete and be so happy for her after she wins gold... then die happily knowing that I lived life the right way.




Last video about the Olympics... I promise.

You'll think I'm smart until you hear me talk... live? Face to face? Are we crazy?

My mom asked me when I’ll get another engineering job.
I told her, again, that I’m a writer now.


She still thinks I’m joking.

“Writing is not a real job.” Her words.

Anyway, I’ll do what any sane person would do in this situation…
I’ll write about it.




Until then, here’s another meme using Emily Court's perfect GIF.

The world is on fire again. But you don't need to know that. You don't need to care.


I used to think people who choose to ignore the “important” news and focus on what makes them happy... whether it is business, fashion, humor, movies, sports, music, or whatever... are hurting society and making things worse. I used to think they were out of touch.


But the truth is… they chose themselves, and I have to respect that. I want to do that now more than ever.


Because when you surrender to the news cycle and then realize you have absolutely no say and no power to change what's happening in this moment… you feel like s*it.


Powerless is never a good feeling. So maybe staying aware all the time is not the best choice for everyone.



Maybe some of us can remain delusional and disconnected. Maybe it's okay to choose your life over whatever is happening around you.


But before you do... before we all do... we need to ask ourselves… can I make a difference? Can my words, my feelings, my tears?


Because if you have power, if you can change this, then I think you have to try to make this world better.


If not, then it's okay to focus on yourself... only yourself... and laugh and live. It's your life, after all.




You're allowed to live it your own way... LIVE! 
You can spread hope and joy even in the middle of all of this.

Just stay positive

Just stay happy

Life is not negative

If you're not so sappy

Just be okay 

Just be funny 

The universe will obey 

If you call it... honey

Life is not bad

If you're not so sad

Just stay positive

Just stay happy



Kids, this is your social media summary for the rest of the year. 




P.S. The DOW is above 50,000. 
So, according to rich people, we're SUPPOSED to be happy.

I used to wake up and open LinkedIn; now I wake up and check the news.

That's how awesome 2026 is...

Nothing says professional more than being on LinkedIn on a Saturday that is also Valentine’s Day.

This is me every time I scroll past fake success gurus' posts. 



We all need a laugh today and this made me laugh... so why not? 

Please note this isn't my video, and I have no idea who that guy is... if you know please let me know.

I'm waiting for someone to train dogs to use LinkedIn. 

P.S. I'm not a dog. Not a dog at all. Not a dog. Not a golden retriever. Nope.

A new AI photo generation trend? Yay. Awesome. 

Flood. My. Feed.
Flood. My. Feed. 
Flood. My. Feed. 
Flood. My. Feed. 

Like, now. 


P.S. I actually loved some of them! 
I think I'm just mad at myself for spelling caricature wrong so many times.

Do you panic when you see the world on fire?
Do you hate feeling powerless?

I do.

Life is like a sad but sweet melody. It’s somehow always hopeful, even when it’s scary.

And what can we do? Anyone?

Take deep breaths. Stand tall. Focus on what we can control. Hopefully, that’s enough… for now.

No matter what happens next, we did the best we could in that moment. Now we live this one… and the next.
