Sharing on the Internet

January 31, 2026

I feel genuinely weird about sharing on the internet. I even dare to say that we have somewhat toxic relationship.

As a fifteen year old kid, I loved hanging out online. I was super-duper cautious about sharing anything because back in the day in my online circles it was weird. I kept anonymity as much as I could and, as a hobby of mine, I was trying to find information about other different people. Pure curiosity!

Time went by, I kinda moved from this approach to somewhat superficial sharing but nothing personal. Then, even more time went by and somehow I felt open enough to be wanting to share a lot of things — I wanted my personal website to be some sort of little (re-)collection of me and my life. Evolution of my music taste, my recordings, random sport stats — all meant to be available to a public judgement! I'm glad that I was a bit too lazy to make it all come true.

But now I'm somewhat confused. From one side, I definitely do not want to share much online — I have a lot of personal stuff going on, as we all do, and this seems to be a little precious thing of mine available to me and very close friends of mine. From the other side, I do want to share some things. I want to write occasionally about whatever random thing came to my mind and post it. Because personally I love lurking around the internet and reading random people's blogs. It also feels somewhat intimate in a way — a lot of times it feels like this page was never opened by anyone else and I'm the first one to read it.

So shall this be the beginning of posting random things online. I'll re-read it myself in a couple of years and hopefully it's gonna be as intimate as I think.
