You: How have you been lately?
Me: I’ve been working on my personal blog.
You: Oh, really? What kind of blog is it?
Me: It’s my personal archive. I post book reviews, my own drawings, AI-generated images, and various design works I’ve created. I also write about philosophy—what I learn from books and by asking AI. I reflect on the world and on human beings, based on what I see around me and on social media like Twitter. I also write about my daily life and how events make me feel.
You: That sounds very personal. Why did you want to make it a blog instead of keeping it private?
Me: For me, web design itself feels like a kind of art. Just looking at a well-designed page makes me feel better. And knowing that someone can read my posts gives me a certain feeling. Because of that, I put more effort into writing. I genuinely want to write, and writing gives me energy.
You: Do you write more for yourself, or for the people who read it?
Me: Actually, I’m not sure. The slogan of my blog is something like “a place for me.” I think writing on my blog is a way to remember who I am. When daily life feels blurry, reading my own posts reminds me where I am, who I am, and what I can do.
You: Do you feel like writing helps you understand yourself better over time?
Me: Yes, definitely. Writing book reviews, especially, helps me understand my inner world. It allows me to reflect on my thoughts more clearly.
You: Do you usually write right after reading a book, or do you wait and think about it first?
Me: I usually write a review right after finishing a book. Because otherwise, I forget the content quickly.
