Torn between pull-ups and hiking.

Pull-ups are great, you against your weight. Each cookie and chocolate bar you ever ate pulls you down. Your will pulls you up. Who will win? However, I lost my ability to do pull-ups about a year ago and it is not on my list of things to do next year. Which leaves us with hiking.

Hiking is like walking but you’re somewhere far from computers, wifi, work, city life, cars, and many of the stress factors. You against a hill. Or against your thoughts. Much better.

Just a cool photo from before I became a car brain. Not sure why Photos decided to show that to me. The shadow in the mist is Glozhene Monastery.

This was likely from my old blog, maybe 15 to 20 years ago. I can’t reach Malyovitza these days but whatever I can reach, I do in a similar fashion. Jeans, LOL. So inappropriate. Some things never change.

This blog will change the world

I love this writing prompt!

Blogs can change the world. I see influential folks in Bulgaria do great things with their blogs. However, my site focuses on my journeys, discoveries, learnings, and experiences, it doesn’t aim to change the world. There are some evolving personal goals that I’m pursuing, and I’m using the daily posting as motivation:

  • Trying to average 10K steps/day (I’m not far but under)
  • Trying to use my non-work-related screen time for reading books, blogging, reading blogs, and engaging with communities
  • Trying to not use my personal time for news, doom scrolling, and anxiety-related experiences
  • Trying to learn more about writing, psychology, AI, math

Using the blog I can achieve things like:

  • Inspire a few more people to religiously walk and use their cars for country trips only
  • Inspire more people to read books
  • Inspire more people to pursue a life of being kind and empathetic to others
  • Criticize the usage of AI to divert web traffic into apps that steal human content

Would it work that way? Sure, just give it time 😉 Once I get to, let’s say, 1000 subscribers, I’ll post a status update 🌎
