Connect, Share, Heal

During the Covid pandemic I was stuck at home on lockdown, as most of us were. I had been working at a place I really liked, doing a job I enjoyed very much, teaming with people I appreciated and enjoyed being around. It was a very special time for me, and it turned out to be one of the best work experiences I had, up until this day.

Then the virus hit and the lockdown started, took away my job and my connection to people, which was critical for my well being. The isolation from people was like a bullet for me, you could immediately see how my mood shifted, how I become sadder by the day, and eventually suffer from depression.

I remember one day feeling so lonely at home, I thought to myself ‘there must be millions of people who feel that way right now’, ‘it can’t just be me, I’m sure that many people struggle with this loneliness that isolation wreaks on us.’ And so I signed in on WordPress and opened a site, I called it “On my mind”, and it was meant to be a platform on which I, and people from all around the world can just spit what’s on there minds, as though there is no distance. Just letting it be an outlet for our pains and emotions. Sadly, I never ended up publishing that website. I assume, out of fear of failure.

Although the pandemic eventually ended, loneliness still visits me from time to time. My life since the end of pandemic was one heck of a ride. The journey I traveled shaped my life and had such an enormous impact on me as a person, as a soul, as human being on this earth. I changed numerous jobs since, expanded my family, and read some amazing books, which I can say confidently – changed my life.

Facing utterly different challenges now, four years after registering on WordPress for the first time, the idea to log back in on the site popped in my mind on one of those days, when I felt suffocating in my loneliness, and this time I meant to go through with it and make it real.

As days passed after returning to working on this website, I started to feel that I don’t only want it to be about loneliness, but rather use it to share some insights about the journey I had the privilege to travel in my own life. I’ve learned a lot in the last five years, and accumulated many tools to deal with life’s difficulties through the books, videos and podcasts I ingested, and I’d like to share them with anyone who could use them on their journey.

If you’re going through a rough time in your life, I hope you find something that helps you on this website, that I built with love.

And of course, if you feel lonely and would like to share some thoughts, you can still do it here.

Please keep in mind. This site was created with love and strives to be the safe space for people. Please be kind to each other, and help spread love in the world.
