#1 One Quarter Full: A Journey of Growth and Discovery

Hello there! I’m a man in my mid-twenties. I have a wonderful wife, an adorable baby girl, a house, and a job.

I’m an engineer, a runner, a painter, and a gardener.

I like to think of myself as creative, ambitious, and loving. These qualities shape my life and define who I am.

Why am I starting this blog?

Yesterday, I made a decision that feels both exciting and daunting: to embark on a journey of self-reflection and growth by recording my life. Through this blog, I hope to learn from my past experiences and perspectives. Perhaps you might find some inspiration or insight from my journey as well!

I don’t claim to be a professional writer, but I’m optimistic that this experience will help me improve. So, bear with me as I find my voice and refine my storytelling skills.

Why "One Quarter Full"?

The name "One Quarter Full" feels like a perfect fit for my fist blog. As an optimist, I see this as a representation of my current stage in life - a quarter of my life journey filled with experiences, love, and knowledge. If all goes well, I’ll have the chance to turn my life’s stopwatch three more times, each turn filled with even more enriching experiences, becoming a more holistic man - a wiser man, husband, and father.

This blog is a significant step in my personal development. By challenging myself daily, I aim to grow and improve continually.

What can you expect from this blog?

  • Memoirs of my life: I’ll be sharing stories and reflections from my past, capturing the moments that have shaped me.
  • Present-day challenges and achievements: From the ups and downs of fatherhood to the triumphs and trials of daily life.
  • Insights as a father and husband: I’ll share the rewards and challenges these roles bring, offering a glimpse into my family life.
  • Thoughts on topics that interest me: Expect musings on technology, space, philosophy, and other subjects that pique my curiosity.

Join me on this journey as I strive to fill my life with meaningful experiences and continuous growth. Here’s to becoming the best version of ourselves, one quarter at a time.

#2 Fatherhood: A Brief Insight

Work hard. It’s as simple as that. Being a father, or a parent in general, is an endeavor that demands unwavering effort and commitment. There is no denying the relentless nature of this role. Before welcoming our baby girl into the world earlier this year, my life followed a predictable, albeit fulfilling, routine. I worked a 9-to-5 job and afterward, I could unwind on the sofa, play video games, or enjoy a leisurely run. My wife and I would alternate cooking and cleaning duties, occasionally treating ourselves to takeout and binge-watching our favorite TV shows. Our weekends were filled with adventures, family visits, and romantic dinner d ates. While my routine hasn't drastically changed, the pace and intensity have certainly ramped up. The notion of work ceases to end when I step through the door after a day at the office. We now have a delightful yet demanding baby who requires constant attention. Rocking her to sleep, bathing her, entertaining her, or changing her nappy – the...

#3 Philosophical Journey: Are We Alone?

No. For billions of years, Earth has been teeming with an extraordinary array of life forms, and more recently, even humans have ventured into orbit around our planet. From the first microorganisms in the primordial oceans to the majestic dinosaurs that once roamed the land. From the dawn of mammals to the emergence of early humans. From the myriad of animals that inhabit the land and sea to the birds that soar through the skies. We are certainly not alone. Perhaps a more suitable question would be: Is there life beyond our planet? Well, yes. Humans are currently residing on the International Space Station (at least for now). Furthermore, regardless of whether we discover life on Mars, it seems increasingly likely that we will become a multi-planetary species and establish colonies on other worlds by the end of this century. I sincerely hope this happens within my lifetime, as witnessing such an achievement would be profoundly inspiring. But is there life further afield? Beyond the rea...
