I will start write a lot

Hello everyone, it’s been a while. I’ve been absent for years, although I’ve actually been somewhat active on social media—mostly as a passive lurker. Recently, I’ve been dealing with depression and staying busy with real-life matters.

To be honest, even after these past two years, I still feel like a failure for not having secured a proper job yet (most of my work has been informal). It’s been a major source of stress for me, and I’ve been relying heavily on freelancing.

Anyway, I’ve decided to do a massive overhaul.

I’ll be using this site as my main website and blog, primarily writing in English because I really need to practice and improve. I’ll also continue writing in Indonesian, but that will be on my Dreamwidth, which I plan to use as a more informal blog. This site, on the other hand, will be more professional.

Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to post regularly. I’ve also revamped my Substack and Medium for the same reason.

I’ve genuinely wanted to build a career in writing.

The Portfolio page is still under construction, but I’ve put it up for now so I don’t forget about it. I’ll also try to post less personal content here, as I’m planning to write more polished review articles for my portfolio.

I hope you’ll look forward to it!
