My first atomic essay... truth be told, I'm quite uncertain regarding the topic I really want to talk about, a topic that's suitable for my first atomic essay. I do have many topics to talk about; starting from my own personal perspective of the world (its issues, the struggles it inflict, its joy, etc), to how the world perceives the likes of me. Hence why I'm gonna make my first atomic essay to be an opportunity to open up about myself a little more, I think that's personally the best way to introduce myself and you--the reader--to our soon long-running epic odyssey that waits us in KPB.

To start off things, let's go back in time a little bit. Around 2018 - 2019, I was experiencing puberty; questions here and there, curiosity lingering upon uncharted (for me) territory of the world, regardless whether that's virtual or real. I was oblivious back then, but I have a strong spirit that's never been ignited before to find out about new things, good or bad is out of the question. Before that time, I was never really an internet person, I even barely used my Instagram account, which is the only social media account I had at the time. Well, there's another social media app, but I've never used it out of the context of communicating with classmates. Then, I got pretty bored one day, and decided to try socializing with other users in the application. I joined a random server from a random YouTuber, and erm, it didn't go exactly well. I was merely experimenting back then, I don't really pay attention on how I really act, which is why I kind of "cringed" whenever I looked up my previous messages. Funny thing is that I didn't realize that this decision of socializing on Discord will have a huge impact on my social life, and my overall maturity. Well, I s'pose no pre-teen could've seen that coming,

Fast-forward to around 2019 - 2020, I learned a lot from socializing on Discord. I explored many perspectives of the world, but actually tried to understand them instead of just knowing. It may look like a small difference, but I tell ya, understanding an idea no matter how malicious, morally bankrupt, or contradictory it is compared with your own personal view, it'll help you a lot in deciding what's "good" and "bad". I too struggled at first when the idea I stumbled upon contradicts with the view I was raised with, it took me quite a while to accept that I have to be completely neutral to understand the said idea. Neutral is my preferred way if I was challenged with another person's view that opposed my personal view, though I do believe that there's something much more important than neutrality; empathy and selflessness. It's what makes us truly human, and the only way for us to keep on living together as one, and surprisingly, most people tends to forget even the most simplest of things because of their pride and ego. There's still a little more that I want to talk about concerning what I've been through on Discord in a more specific manner than this, but I think we should put a cliffhanger to make the blog posts more interesting! I of course merely jesting, reader, I'm going to save my stories later so I can convey it in the most detailed way possible (exaggeration). Ta muchly for taking your time to read my schizophrenic rambling, I look forward to see you (I'm in your wall) in the next atomic essay!
