This blog is all about myself, my training, my freediving dramas adventures and misfortunes. But here you can maybe find some insights about freediving related things that you won’t easily find anywhere else. Most poeple like to show the polished sides of themselves and display their medals and successes (hello Instagram!), while I often delve into uncomfortable subjects. Even though I never liked talking about myself, I found myself not having an option. Let me explain.
I always liked to write. So in the olden days I used to have a blog, the old generation of freedivers will still remember it, often with delight, some other times with tears, some still have episodes of ptsd, because I used to make fun of everything and everyone, but people only liked it when it was funny about others and not about themselves. However, as we stepped into the second decade of the 2000’s things changed and a degree of sensitivity grew disproportionately in the fabric of (mainly younger) people’s brain along with their ego and self-centeredness.
Being an old school, cold-hearted dragon (so i’m told) I couldn’t adjust to that (and there weren’t sensitivity classes available at the time), so I had to quit writing my blog.
Now a decade later I came up with the realisation I can still write and make fun, but of myself instead (and sometimes of my dive buddy Wet Cat, because he can take it without his self-esteem shattering every time).
Eventually making fun of the same person will get old and I’ll run out of subjects, but seeing how long I can keep this going is also an interesting challenge.
