By now you might have been wondering who’s sitting behind the screen and has been talking to you about different things for months. So I thought maybe it’s high time for me to uncover bits and pieces of myself and share with you my ideas and reasons for starting up blogging while at the same time being a father to a 10 year old beautiful daughter, a musician, an entrepreneur, a son, a brother and a friend. I feel it is the right time for me to find my voice and share it online after I had been struggling with emotional distress, abuse, loss, heartbreak and other lows and highs of my life.
I can start with telling you that I’ve been blessed in my life to be raised by a couple of amazing people, with my mother being my biggest fan and the greatest support system and my late beloved father whom I still admire and who taught me incredibly wise life lessons that helped me to get through the darkest years of my life. Both of them lit a spark of joy and gratefulness in my life and despite my struggles I managed to carry that spark all throughout my life and share it with others on the way. For years, I’ve also poured my heart and soul into my music. It’s been my passion, my refuge, my way of expressing the deepest parts of myself and my safe space to let things go. But as I’ve grown older and my daughter has grown up, I’ve realized that there’s so much more to life than just music. There’s family, there’s love, there’s laughter, there’s struggle, there’s growth, there’s loss… there’s a whole kaleidoscope of experiences waiting to be explored.
So now I feel I’m ready to start a new chapter of my life and spread that spark of joy, gratefulness and positivity with people who might need someone to spark a little light in them. That’s why I came up with the idea of SIWW – Say It With Words.. as I believe that as much as words can hurt they also have a great healing and building up power. I just know that in the world full of people fighting their demons it’s good to have one safe place to come, read, laugh, cry and heat your soul sitting at the fire fueled up with kindness, love and understanding. Share your own experiences and just chat together as good friends we’ll hopefully become.
I’ve learnt the hard way the importance of self-kindness and taking care of my mental state. I’ll be trying both to teach you about what I’ve learnt in life but also to learn new things with you – I believe it will be an amazing place for me to encourage my own personal growth and self-reflection. I’m inviting you to embark on a journey of sharing yourself with others, building a healthy relationship with yourself and your loved ones, giving back to your community and getting back from it. In my life I’ve been always trying to spread kindness and politeness that I’ve been taught by my wonderfully kind and lovely parents. And I’m glad that finally I set up my own safe corner in the huge online universe of different rooms and corners. I will make sure that my space is filled with laughter, useful information, great advice and tons of hints and tips for you on various content from choosing gifts, self-care ideas, celebration suggestions and loads of other hopefully interesting thoughts of mine.
Being an artist and a musician for years I’ve recently craved a new creative outlet for myself other than music. Don’t get me wrong – making music, writing songs and lyrics IS my life but I also believe that I have my heart in the right place and I’m mature enough to share it with you. I hope that this blog is going to help me connect with other like-minded individuals who are tired of constant hate, horrible news, ongoing battles and all the social media negativity. I want to create a safe bubble for all of us to hide in the world of trouble and from all the ill minded people. This place is also a way for me to connect with others who may be going through similar joys and struggles. It’s a way for me to leave a piece of myself behind for my daughter to look back on one day and learn valuable lessons that I’ve been taught by my mother and father when I was growing up. It’s a tribute to her, to my parents and my family and all the people who either left a good mark or a scar on my heart – you made me the man who I am today. Thank you.
But let me tell you, taking this leap isn’t easy. To be honest the fear of failure looms large, whispering doubts in my ear. “Who’s going to want to read your ramblings?” It taunts me daily. “You’re too old for this, too late to the game.” But then I look into my daughter’s eyes, filled with a mixture of innocence and admiration, and I know I have to silence those doubts. I need to show her that it’s never too late to chase your dreams. I have to lead by example, to show her that life is about taking risks, about putting yourself out there, about being unapologetically you. And I want her to understand how kind words can build up beautiful worlds.
So here I am, guys… with my heart pounding in my chest, ready to share my story with the world. From the chaotic mornings of trying to get my daughter ready for school while hunting for my missing guitar picks, to the quiet moments of introspection and pouring my emotions out as I strum away in my home studio, to the bittersweet memories of love lost… It’s all fair game.
And if even one person finds an escape, some solace, inspiration, or just a moment of connection in my words, then it will all be worth it. Because at the end of the day, this blog isn’t just about me. It’s about the collective human experience, the shared journey we’re all on, the highs and lows that make life so beautifully messy.
So here’s to new beginnings, to finding my voice in the cacophony of life, and to sharing it with anyone willing to listen. Welcome to my corner of the internet – I hope you stick around for the ride.
Take care & speak soon!
