Hello, World!

Notes

Hello, everyone! After months of refining, redesigning, writing, and rewriting code, I feel like I'm finally ready to launch my blog for the first time in years. The last time I blogged was around 2018, if my memory serves me well. So many things have happened since then: an invasion, immigration, a career path change, marriage, and new hobbies. But it still feels like the growing hole in me that appeared after I stopped writing was never filled. So, I unsheathe my digital sword again, ready to cut through words.

This blog is called "A Space for the Unbound," named after a video game I particularly like because it resonates with how I feel — unbound. After leaving Russia, many ties were cut, and almost nothing holds me back anymore. My bond with the place where I was born grows thinner every day, and relationships decay and crumble. There is almost no way back for me.

I will blog mostly about my hobbies, the past, and my job. Additionally, I will try to follow the concept of digital gardening for this blog. Each post will have a publish date and an edit date, and I will return to previous posts often, refining them until I'm satisfied. I hope this space will help me find myself and figure out how to live this life after it was upended.
