A quick summary of me
At the time of writing this I'm 19 years old, studying design (I just passed year 1) and living with my parents in the Netherlands. I made this blog to document my life and because of a few other reasons; I'm bored, I don't want to write a physical diary, I want everything to be in one neat place. I wish to move out as soon as possible. I don't know exactly why, it's just a feeling of wanting to be independant I guess. Also because it would allow me to design my home however I want.
As I said I have a lot of hobbies and interests. These include:
- History
- Philosophy
- Psychology
- Reading
- Travelling
- Filmography and watching movies
- Game dev/Game design
- Webdesign
- Electrical engineering
- Drawing
- Painting
- Music, both listening and playing. I play bass guitar.
- Health and fitness
- Martial arts training
Small struggles
Whenever an app asks me about my interests, I basically gotta check every single one. I think this is because I'm on the autism spectrum. As a small kid I was in a lot of fights with my mom, like every day, and so she took me to a child psychologist or something like that. She then evaluated that I was highly gifted and on the autism spectrum. Those words didn't mean anything to 4 year old me, but they do now. Only during the past 2 years have I started to realise that I truly am different. Reflecting on my childhood, I always had issues communicating with other people, was very shy and had a different way of thinking. I now try to be more 'normal', because I'd be isolating myself if I didn't.
I have to admit life is more fun and exciting when you're not in your room coding all day or watching movies. You get to meet new people, make good memories and overall have a good time.
