I met a me I didn’t expect.

I used to be that kid everyone knew. Top of the class, super confident, always up on stage, talking, laughing, leading something or the other. I had a bunch of friends, teachers liked me, and I never thought twice before speaking in front of a crowd.

It all kind of shifted after COVID and now I mostly sit in front of my computer. Coding, messing with cybersecurity stuff, studying chess. I struggle with studies, barely talk to people, and sometimes even overthink ordering at cafés. I’ve got a small circle; Maybe two close friends in real life, a few online. I go to the gym and I try to stay consistent. That helps.

I know that it's a big shift for me. But honestly I don't hate it. I've changed for sure but I have also grown. I've found new things I'm passionate about. I’ve learned to enjoy my own company and I’m slowly learning to be confident in this version of me too.

This is not the same me. But it's still me. Just figuring things out in a different way. 📬
