Embrace the cringe

July 1, 2022

You know, I’m not a huge fan of my previous post. When I made this blog, I imagined it would be way more technical than that. I would talk about different technologies and approaches to programming and stuff like that. And yet, here I am, posting some dumb nonsense about how I’m supposedly stranded on an island (I’m not). Pretty cringe, right?

Right.

The problem is, I don’t have much to talk about right now. Sure, there is a list of topics I would like to cover at some point, but I just don’t feel comfortable writing about them at this moment. It’s as if my writing skills are not adequate enough for that. They probably are, obviously they are, but something in my mind just stops me. It seems pretty clear that I just lack the confidence.

So, in order to tackle this problem, I decided to just write whatever. I think it’s fair to say that one becomes more proficient at something the more they do it. Confidence has to come with experience too. Once I make enough posts, bringing something to the public view has to stop being such a big event and I’ll finally be able to confidently post whatever I actually want to post.

In other words, in order to become based, I’ll have to be cringe for a while. All I can do is accept this fact. Either way, it’s very likely that the current version of me will seem cringy to my future self, I might as well get something out of it.

Dang, not going to lie, this post is pretty cringe too, and you know what? Good. If I can post this cringe bomb, I can post anything.
