Blog and me

The concept and use of blogs appeared and spread at the end of the last century. People who’ve been born before the millennials still remember the time when everyone had a blog which was a prestigious and pretty popular occupation (and eventually became 2000’s aesthetic). 

This was another way to tell stories, express thoughts and opinions online (when Instagram didn’t take over the world yet and there were no pseudo philosophers with their «deep» long reads).

The theme of blogs was also very common in the entertainment industry. Images of bloggers have been everywhere in various films and TV series. 

To date, such heroes as Carrie Bradshaw, Gossip Girl (Dan Humphrey), and Barney Stinson have become the most memorable for me! Their characters and blogging style left a colorful imprint in my memory, which inspires me now.

I also want to combine Carrie’s daydreaming nature and lightness, Barney’s dedication and love for blogging, Dan Humphrey’s unbiasedness, and open-mindedness.

I still have a very abstract but interesting flashback moment of how, when I was five, I first saw a laptop on TV. It made such a strange impression on me since I did not understand what I just saw.  

The reason behind my inventiveness of new ways to entertain myself at childhood was that I’m the only child my parents had. I still clearly remember how I took the magazine, set it in front of me, made a mouse from improvised materials. Thus, without suspecting it, I imagined myself as a blogger! My childish game now smoothly passes into my direct duty – my future profession, if you will?  

Coincidence? Nah, I don’t believe in coincidences.

My own utopia

For someone, utopia is a book by English writer Thomas More. Some people may consider it as a fun cartoon “Utopia”. For some people like me, utopia is a perfect, unrealizable world where people live in peace with themselves and nature around.

Humanity reached many heights in countless spheres in our lives. But I can’t say that we have adjusted everything around. World itself still far from perfect, and it is our fault.

Men in suits with power and voice scream and shout from television screens about how everything gets perfected and we have nothing to worry about. They are planning on remaking the world “for good” or want to build walls. In reply all, I want to scream “What’s the point, show me?!”.

Of course, we have medicines, science, education, money, power. But at the same time, we have deadly weapons, bombs, rockets, racism, sexism, hate of human beings, poverty all around the globe, people that are dying. Now show me your utopia?

I have questions. What is the reason behind building rockets and destroyers for killing people that are human beings just like us? Instead, we could be loving ourselves and people around us by wasting that money on building schools, universities, and bridges between us. What’s the point?

Next thing, why are we still marching for our lives? Why governments and societies incapable to make us feel comfortable, safe and sound? We live in the 21st century and still have hate in forms of racism, sexism, harassment, murders. We put each other through hell, pain, and fear and still don’t give a damn about the value of human’s life.

Speaking about the worth of human’s life. If you saying that we’ve reached unbelievable heights in science, then why can’t we start reaching best versions of ourselves? In streets, people beat up disabled person just because they see them as “different”. “She is different” is the reason behind their physical aggression. You see a person dying from heart attack or epilepsy and simply walk by because it is “not your business”. You simply can’t admit the fact that you became the worst version of yourself by being cruel and brutal.

When it became a normal thing, to not only justify but also cover up the crimes of men in show business industry? In fact, it is not normal and unacceptable in any workplace. When will you start to consider women as human beings, not toys?

Question for the government once again. How many times people, children, parents have to suffer or trade happiness for death, for you to finally open up your eyes and start truly help them? Why are you investigating the outcome of the situation instead of preventing the reasons? We live mourning a countless number of lives you’ve lost because of your indifference, apathy, and unconcern. Can you hear me screaming yet? Is it enough?

Wake up and make a move finally! Stop starting this mess and wreaking havoc. Start with yourself. Smile to your neighbor, ask how’s life, don’t throw trash in nature, work on yourself, walk instead of driving to your workplace, be concerned about the world around, care more, be kinder and understanding. What’s the point of hate and anger? Tell me.

Wake up.
