: so I’ve been thinking about this whole “I’m #weird” thing. I said it a few times lately, talking about my , the way I live, the choices I make. it’s always been the easy shortcut – just call myself and move on. easier to say “I’m #weird” than “I live differently”. easier to joke than to stand there and admit I’m choosing a life most people don’t choose.

but after two days of letting this sit in my head… no. I’m not . this isn’t about weirdness at all. this is about . simple as that.

to live the way I want, not the way everyone else expects. courage to stop copying the standard life package and do things I actually want to do. courage to skip the things everybody else does without thinking. courage to pick my own path, even if it looks strange from the outside.

and yeah… maybe to some people it is weird. maybe for me it’s easier to label it that way because being different still scares me sometimes. but the truth is: I have a great life. not perfect, not always easy, but mine. I get to chase dreams – or at least try – and not many people do that. not many even dare.

there are moments full of doubts, frustration, anger at myself… but there’s also this huge part of me that’s just happy. happy with the choices I make, with the adventures I have, with the strange little rituals of my everyday life.

so maybe I shouldn’t say it’s weird. but if it is… fine. let it be weird. because honestly, who the hell has a life like mine? with this mix of chaos, courage, emotions and these ridiculous, beautiful adventures?

: yesterday I’ve cancelled two . feedbin, and after that also instapaper. nothing big – but something changed.

a few days ago I got an email about my feedbin renewal. not a huge thing, just one of those automatic reminders. I was even going to renew it – it’s not expensive, and feedbin is a nice service. but that one email made me stop. think. and somehow it triggered a whole chain reaction.

I looked at my rss feeds – dozens of them, thousands of unread articles. that wasn’t information anymore, it was baggage. old versions of me, old habits, old curiosities, old languages. like a room full of ghosts – whispering: “read me, remember me, you used to care.” but I don’t. not anymore.

many of them were polish blogs, polish sources, topics I’m not interested in. those feeds were still publishing into a room I no longer live in. every scroll was a reminder of someone I used to be.

so I started cleaning. like I clean my . like a minimalist should. deleting (rss) apps and subscriptions isn’t about data – it’s about weight. emotional weight. unread articles feel like unfinished conversations, like a debt to my past self.

so I let them go. cancelled feedbin, then cancelled instapaper, moved everything into one reader (reeder) app. one that feels light. and it’s probably temporary. or maybe not. I don’t even know if I’ll stay with it. maybe I’ll simplify it even more. but right now, it feels free. not the “I can do anything” kind of freedom – the “I don’t have to” kind.

and that’s the best kind of . people usually add things to feel better. I prefer removing them. one quiet decision, one small click – and suddenly half my digital life rearranged itself.

: …and also, apple music keeps playing me so many songs. and this, I don’t understand. I was never that huge fan of polish music.

well, I like it – it’s my first language after all – but not in this quantity.

maybe I just never told apple music clearly enough not to play me this kind of songs. so, like always in life – the fault’s on my side 🙂

: , when I play something called “my station”, keeps giving me sad songs. well, mostly. spotify didn’t do that. and i wonder – does apple music think i’m a sad person? need sad songs? need this reflection time with music? or does it just remember me as that person?

I used apple music for many years, then switched to just a year ago. and honestly, I’m a completely different person now. knows only the new me – without the old luggage.

three years ago, my life was quieter. I was rebuilding, searching for my new self. kind of lost in some ways, unsure what to do, I guess. transforming.

and when I started using spotify, I was already dancing, moving, breathing differently. had that energy that spotify saw – and learned.

so maybe it’s time to raise apple music to who i am now.
