Do you remember the old meme about the year 2020 being the worst? Unexpectedly during this period, I felt like my life was going against all of the global events, and that contrast made me feel even more detached from the world than ever.

During the period of channel inactivity, I had a lot of things in my life going at such a high pace, which is very often confused with the feeling of being young. A lot of thoughts I didn't manage to share on time here and even the start of this post sounds rather outdated.

"So where have you been and overall what's up?" — this is something you are always welcome to ask in the chat and try to interrupt non-stop conversations there. But in short, I started my professional life, found it rather boring and even meaningless, saved up some money and went to Norway for my Master studies, had another run as a student, but unlike Bachelors, it felt completely different and way more focused. During my studies, I met a lot of new people from absolutely various backgrounds but all are damn amazing. Then in the middle of my Master's, I founded a design studio with 4 other partners. Since then the amount of free time I have decreased drastically but this still feels like one of the best choices I did so far.

In the last year, I fully focused on the studio hustle and finishing the degree. Still not sure how, but in June I managed to finish the studies. My thesis (once again on crypto and this time it is fantastic) felt like a burden during the time of writing but mainly due to coping with work in parallel. Back then thesis felt like another task, which is stuck in your head and makes you anxious at every second of free time due to the constant thought: "I could be writing thesis right now". Even though I liked writing and coding, the thought of getting it done (on time) strongly stuck in my head, and even after a couple of weeks after thesis submission, deadlines kept living in my head.

Now I am in Georgia, where I am fully focused on Klad. Alongside, I am trying to build a creative community together with musicians and designers from Russia.

As you can see, the post turned out to be about me, myself and I. Yet we had a lot of catch up to do after such a long break. Regarding the channel, now I want to get back to writing and will even try to establish some posting frequency. However, this time I want posts to be more spontaneous but more up-to-date. Anyway, how you've been?
