Day 0: Reigniting my Tech Spirit

Hi... Okay, so how should I put this...

Um, okay so you might be thinking, “Why is this random guy talking about his life going into tech with all thousands of other journals circulating online? My answer to you is that I just feel like documenting myself once and for all. And bumping into this journal kinda blog? feels like you stumbled upon here for a reason, right? The universe really knows you need some dose of my awesomeness!

A little backstory to tell…

I don’t want to point this out, but about 6 months ago around October, I decided to 100% drop all my subjects at University to pursue my small business. At the time I was in 4th year and was supposed to be graduating in 3 semesters' time. Things looked promising, but as fate would have it, my business started to dwindle, and eventually, in January I see no net income return, and worst I’m in debt. I felt so devastated that I started to imagine suicidal thoughts. Well, for some it wouldn’t be much troublesome. But for me, it was a huge deal. I lied to my parents about the situation and when they eventually found out, I literally cried for hours and hours for several days thinking about the wrongdoing I did. It crushed my inner ego and felt like I was a complete failure. 3 months later, I decided to change my path instead of keeping myself low in self-pity.

I’m ain’t a loser, I am a winner; not a defeatist but a conqueror!

Guess what? I discovered the wonderful world of programming, but wait, is it really as wonderful as they say? Well, only time will tell, but definitely ready to immerse and crush some BUGS! So On January 9, I enrolled in a Bootcamp online for web development. My first week was okay, but my second week was not good. It didn’t work quite well as I thought it would. The pacing was overwhelming, and as a meticulous person, I felt like I needed not rush things, especially with the fundamentals. So I had to step back and worry again my another failed attempt. I lost hope and stayed idle for another 2 and a half weeks playing games and watching youtube inspirational videos and vlogs. Nothing really into coding or at least the basics that would allow me to better equip myself in programming. Unsurprisingly, all these fancy unproductive distractions never benefit me at all.

But now the earliest day of the fourth month of 2023, I got my senses back, and what better to start anew than by reverting to this beautiful quote by Stephen Hawking:

"Whether you want to uncover the secrets of the universe, or you want to pursue a career in the 21st century, basic computer programming is an essential skill to learn."

 

Now I’m ready to dive back into this tech universe and ready to rock it! Buckle up, folks, and hold on tight, this will be going to be a wild ride!  This is DAY 0
