Fast Update (not really a post)
Okay, now I know what I'm doing here.
Actually, not many things will make sense because I tend to be... how to call it?... Yup, harmonious chaos. It sounds a bit contradictory, I know, but over time, sense may slowly come to my words.
I decided to call my blog THOUGHTS because my articles/essays will basically be that: thoughts that come and go without any necessary order. I'm not good at setting strict publishing times and dates, but I'll try to share at least one column per week (in Sundays). Now that I think about it, this could become like a newspaper of my personal life. Yeah, that makes more sense. A newspaper can have hundreds of topics, just like life, because that's the main purpose of a newspaper, right? To make public the aspects of daily life, here, there, in China, in Patagonia or anywhere you can think of.
I know that many Sustack users use the platform to share their novels, poetry, and other genres of literature, but I've thought about it a lot and I don't think that will work for me. Instead, I offer my friendship and support, because as I said before I want to give more than receive. I'm tired of being selfish, it's tedious, overwhelming, and very discouraging. I may occasionally share some of what I write, but for now that will remain in the ignorance of humanity.
I'm curious... What interests do you guys have? Maybe I can cover some of them in future columns. Any questions or suggestions are welcome.

Random tip: Whenever you're cooking/baking a new recipe, follow the instructions regardless of whether it makes sense to you or not, especially if you have no idea what you're doing. Don't trust your own understanding. Once you've seen how does the chemistry of the ingredients and the physics of the process work, then you can experiment with measurements and ingredients. (Yes, I'm talking from experience).
I think sharing your stories is a selfless act done correctly. If one writes the story in a way to please the algorithm and attract as many views as possible, then yes it would be selfish. But the sharing of art can take quite a bit of courage, and I believe it is a very selfless act.
I am looking forward to seeing what you put out here on Substack! Talking with you has been fun so far. You definitely have a lot of things to add!
As for interests, I have a lot, and all of them are super geeky๐ I guess I can start with my interest in old-school pulp fiction from 1900-1950. People like H. G. Wells, H. P. Lovecraft, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, etc. Theyโve written some of my favorite works and continue to inspire me. Looking at the history of pulp, it reminds me of what we have on websites like Wattpad, Royal Road, and, yes, even Substack. Authors come together to write fun stories, share ideas, and grow together.
Thank you for the cooking tip as well. Iโve been wanting to get into cooking lately, and this sounds like great advice๐
