The Unexpected Power of a Simple Proposal in Freelancing
Freelancing can often feel like a jungle, filled with opportunities but also challenges. I remember one of the simplest yet most impactful moments in my freelancing journey, which taught me valuable lessons about urgency, reputation, and client relationships.

Cloud Computing
My daughter’s mind is an attic. You know: that space up there, top of the house, always cramped, always too small to hold everything you would like to store in there. Old furniture, last century’s memorabilia, your granny’s collection of doilies carefully folded on a wonky shelf, a rickety chest of drawers, cardboard boxes piled up wherever one was able to shove them – it’s all there. All those objects big and small you don’t need on display, maybe you no longer need them at all, but… Well, you just cannot bring yourself to get rid of them. They don’t look that bad. They may be useful again at some indiscernible point in a very distant future. They may go up in value. They might become fashionable again. Or maybe too many memories got attached to fit into the bins.

My Expectations And Responsibilities As A Writer
A while back, I wrote an article about my expectations as a writer of my readers. Today, I got the idea that it might be smart, to let my readers know that I'm not just holding them accountable. Out of everyone I hold the most responsibility for my success as a writer.

Overthinkers Unite!
Your head: it's a jungle in there I recently wrote a story about overthinking. I got lots of comments from people saying stuff like, "I'm an overthinker, too", and "My overthinking has come in handy". It's smashing to know there are so many of you out there.

THE UNTOLD EMOTION
In a small, quaint town nestled between rolling hills and lush forests, there lived a young woman named Elara. Elara was known for her kindness, always offering a helping hand to anyone in need. She had a smile that could brighten the darkest of days and eyes that sparkled with warmth. Yet, behind this cheerful facade, Elara harbored an emotion so deep and untold that not even her closest friends knew of its existence.

For all those who are fighting alone
A journey that everyone must undertake on the path to success is often a solitary one. This is the time when you must confront challenges alone. The painful mistakes encountered along the way can overshadow the joy of solitude, yet this story has been on my mind for a long time, and I wish to share it with those who have experienced similar struggles. My ascent to success was marked by long periods without companionship or support, and I hope my story can inspire others facing loneliness on their journeys. It can offer motivation to persist in their endeavors. While having many friends and strong relationships can be beneficial, it's important to recognize that this is not always the case. Life is not easy, and friends, family, or relatives may not always be present to offer encouragement, especially when you commit fully to your goals. If you decide to dedicate time solely to your ambitions, socializing will take a backseat. Consider this: if you were to turn off your phone for a week, how many messages or missed calls would you receive? This illustrates what you truly value. Often, the reality is that you may not receive any messages or calls, highlighting the need to prepare for solitude during challenging times. You will find that no one will be there to wake you up at 5 a.m. or push you to go to the gym. When it comes to your studies, there will be no one to create a success plan for you. You must confront all challenges independently. There will be times when you have to tackle tasks that others avoid, go to the gym alone, eat by yourself, and face fears that few dare to confront. However, if you don’t take on these challenges, who will? In the early days of my career, I often recalled the advice of my predecessors: relationships are paramount, and money is secondary. This implied that to advance in my career and navigate life's challenges, I needed to cultivate connections with many people. This led me to question whether I truly needed a vast network of friends to succeed. I came to realize that I often struggled with communication and connection, rarely initiating conversations. Many perceive me as closed off, but my role has compelled me to adapt. Over time, I found myself attending conferences and seminars, striving to connect with individuals from various fields. As I progressed professionally, I had to develop new skills, such as effective communication and relationship building. I often thought that increasing my value would naturally draw more people to collaborate with me. I engaged in the networking game, where introductions are frequent, and offers of assistance are common. However, I sensed a certain insincerity in these interactions. Everyone has their motives, and while some may genuinely want to help, it often feels like a facade. This led me to question why I had to invest time with people in such contexts. I pondered whether my energy would be better spent on pursuits I love or with those who genuinely listen to me, or simply in self-reflection. About a year ago, I made the decision to halt all offline engagements and sever most of my connections to relocate to a new city, where I had no friends or acquaintances. For me, this change represented an escape. I longed to break free from my environment, to restart my narrative and realign my life. In that solitude, I discovered true liberation. I was free to be myself and embrace my identity fully, dedicating my life entirely to my own journey.
