Hi 👋🏽 — I’m Ahmed, another human on this strange little planet.
I was staring at the screen, wondering what to write for my first Substack post… and immediately got stuck. Do I say “just another writer”? Do I mention the hundred blogs I’ve started and abandoned? Do I start with who I am, or why I’m even doing this?
Let’s keep it simple: Welcome to my Substack.
Feel free to read, comment, subscribe, or message me. Also feel completely free to unsubscribe when it gets too much, too random, or you just stop liking me. Life’s too short to read things you don’t enjoy.
I started this not to be heard, but to write things out. Call it keyboard therapy — and yes, I do love my new mechanical keyboard. I’m not expecting a huge audience, so I’ll be writing like no one’s watching. Which means… beware of the bad jokes.
Anyway, enjoy the ride.
PS: All posts dated before this one were originally written for other blogs, substacks, or as personal notes. I've kept their original dates since they relate to life events that deserved their own posts.
