It's more tiring than you think to continue reading the same doomer content on social media.
The piece reflects on the unsettling feeling of being in your early thirties, caught between where you expected to be and where you actually are, and how fears about time running out can make the future feel crushingly close.

I'm Tyrel. An experienced software developer writing in public about my thoughts and ideas. Currently, breaking free from the grip of social media and the parasitic effects it has across other aspects of life. I'm a storm enthusiast, so if these notes stop appearing, don't come looking for me — I'm riding on a storm cloud.
You can expect fleeting thoughts and fleshed out ideas. Social media is cancerous, so Fieldnotes is my new thought-sharing medium. Expect ideas in-flight, ideas shutdown too early, and ideas taken to the Nth degree.
I hope you enjoy my slice of the internet, carved out with thoughts on the weather, programming concepts, and red lining my self-discipline trying to avoid having another pizza.
