Writing daily

I don’t know if it’s because I’m now working with AI agents and a technology that sometimes requires long wait times during builds, but I’ve found it pretty productive to just write in between those “loading” states.

Somehow I like writing, and I think it’s going to be good moving forward to keep a daily writing habit. I might try experimenting with writing every day to help me unwind after work, review the day, and mentally prepare for the next. I also want to try writing a weekly post where I review the week I’ve spent as an indie hacker.

Right now, I’m writing from my bed, listening to a bit of Yiruma while my girlfriend sleeps by my side.

I know it isn’t great to use my laptop in the bedroom, but honestly, it relaxes me when my mind is racing at 300 km/h and I know I won’t be able to fall asleep anytime soon.

In addition, I feel like writing is a great medium for me. I tried experimenting with videos and, more recently, Twitter, but honestly, those habits never stuck.

There’s something hard to explain about being able to just write freely on my blog and letting my thoughts flow as I type on the keyboard.

I think about my kids as I write this. Well—I mean my kids that I don’t have yet. I hope one day they’ll see this and read what their dad was thinking at a certain point in time, and see how hard he worked and thought about them, even before they came into this world, to provide them with a secure and stable environment.

These thoughts of having children feel even more relevant now that I’m dating. My girlfriend and I have been together for about a year and a half now. We’re about the same age—just one year apart—and share similar aspirations for the future: living in the countryside, as close to nature as possible, hiking in the mountains whenever we want, raising our kids together with our dog and cats, and just being happy.

It might sound a bit odd to some, but this kind of “simple life” really wasn’t something I envisioned growing up.

I don’t want to write a whole novel about the reasons for that right now—I might revisit it later—but since it’s getting late, I’ll just stop here and end with this:

I already enjoyed writing this a lot, and I hope to enjoy many more days of writing like this. It’s currently 22:00, so I’ll call it a day here.

See you soon! Or rather, see you tomorrow! :)
