Michael Huskii wrote an Article on Linkedin's version of Medium.

So a lots happened since my last ‘publish’ back in 2020. I’m trying to figure out how I recount what’s been going on in my life, my work and my reality.

Still seeing the random stats emails that let me know people are reading these articles, hope they get a kick out of it to be honest. I remember writing these because I didn’t want to have a notebook (because who holds a pen anymore) I was learning a lot and the lessons needed to be kept somewhere.

Now it’s 2023 and I’m a completely different person, I mean it’d be weird if I was the same but maybe I’ll write some more, maybe I won’t.

Honestly, it feels like I’m really just writing to myself. So since we’re already here:

Bro you’ve done good, you put in the work, you struggled.

Didn’t know where you were going but you went anyway.

And that’s all that really matters … most people are still deciding whether or not they pull the trigger.

If this ends up being read by someone … hey you, yeah you, person reading who hasn’t spoken, messaged or holla’d at me in awhile:

Whatever you’re thinking about doing, just do it.

Not because Nike’s made it their slogon but … do it because you’re no one’s waiting on you but yourself. Start and the worst case scenario is: you stop.

No one’s really going to care. Everyone’s too busy paying their own bills to give you quarter of a mind.

Here is the dialogue that’s happening in people’s minds when they come by whatever personal project you’re doing:

“There he/she is again, doing something that no one understands”

“When are they going to just give up, just work and be normal”

“I wonder if my leftover lasagna from last night is edible”

(just googled if I spelt that right and if it meant eat-able).

“Forgot to pay my Netflix subscription, whoops.”

That’s basically it and over time … as you do more things?because you want to?… you yourself will stop caring about what your friends, family and acquaintances think too.

I mean, they might ‘unfollow’ you when they see you persisting but hey, how about you stop trying to fit in … you did high school already ?? that moments passed.

If anything, because people trying to ‘be themselves’ or keep the same identity among their social circle end up creating aliases so that no one criticises or judges them. Imagine hiding from everyone that you really like to dance, that’s insane.

I know I couldn’t do it.

Anyway, whoever ends up reading this … this was probably more of a journal to myself than it was to provide value, educate or entertain you.

It’s a Saturday in Australia so how about you call a friend, go out for lunch or do something that makes you happy.

All I’ve gotta say is … thank you for reading and thank you for existing, your presence is a present in itself and whomever you share that present with is up to you.

Wishing you the best until my next ‘publish’.
