A few years ago, having lived caring for everyone else and forgotten myself, I lost myself. And so, started a self-discovery journey. Clinging to “I’m a former banker,” when asked who I was, I struggled with identity, sometimes wishing I was Tyrion Lannister and just say “I drink, and I know things.”

But I discovered that life itself answers who we are — unraveling as you go.

And since the About Me query unsettles me, yet I must answer it, I’m feeling this pub’s tough love. But my ambivalence tells me we’ll make a power couple; after all, don’t some lifelong bonds start on a love-hate note?

So, Why Medium?

Here’s how it started:
Me:
Bobby, pls build for me a blog.
Him: There’s somewhere people write; it’s called Medium.

I signed up, never looked back, and found inspiration through numerous drafts, fantastic writers, and reads.
