About my life, my thoughts, whatever the hell is going on inside my head. No schedule, no structure, no performance. Just truth.</p><p>Social media made everyone actors. Highlight reels, fake smiles, motivational captions; everyone&#8217;s lying, and we clap for it like idiots.<br>I&#8217;m not here to sell perfection. I&#8217;m here to dump what&#8217;s real.</p><p>Third year of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Running on caffeine, sarcasm, and denial. Don&#8217;t get me wrong &#8212; I love it. That&#8217;s the thing about engineering: it&#8217;s hell, but a kind of hell that makes sense. </p><p>Being productive heals me, and I don&#8217;t even know why. Maybe it&#8217;s the illusion of control. Maybe it&#8217;s because fixing things feels easier than fixing myself. Either way, I need it &#8212; the work, the struggle, the grind. It keeps me alive.</p><p>And lately, I keep thinking about this:<br>People fake who they are. They build personalities like armor. Whole lives built on lies. But why? Is it for survival? For attention? For comfort?</p><p>If I lie to myself long enough, do I become that lie?<br>Or am I just trapped playing a character I created years ago because it&#8217;s easier than changing?</p><p>Maybe no one really changes. Maybe we&#8217;re all just wearing different masks, pretending to grow.<br>Maybe we&#8217;re all selfish &#8212; addicted to comfort, hiding the monster that comes out when no one&#8217;s watching.</p><p>Our sins shape who we really are. Everything else is performance.<br>And the scariest part? We don&#8217;t even notice it anymore. We&#8217;re too busy consuming, scrolling, buying &#8212; becoming exactly what the system wants: obedient junkies with dopamine loops.</p><p>So yeah. This blog isn&#8217;t another aesthetic diary or motivational dump.<br>It&#8217;s my brain, unplugged. No filter. No performance. No fake wisdom.</p><p>Well, I might also throw some project stuff in here too. If you don&#8217;t wanna hear my depressed ass ramble between builds, then yeah &#8212; leave this site. I&#8217;ll make a separate one for devlogs eventually. This one&#8217;s for the real talk.</p><p>I&#8217;m not here to inspire anyone. I&#8217;m just trying to make sense of the chaos before it swallows me. </p><p>Welcome to the mess.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hello world]]></title><description><![CDATA[Hello, hope you&#8217;re all doing well!]]></description><link>https://efsp.me/p/hello-world</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://efsp.me/p/hello-world</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[EFSP]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 05 Oct 2025 13:36:13 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2c1b!,w_256,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F302d34df-e8a2-406d-8582-fc0b86f91e21_184x184.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello, hope you&#8217;re all doing well!</p><p>I&#8217;ve decided to start my own blog website just for fun. Since hosting on Substack is much cheaper, I linked my domain there for now. In the future, I might switch to WordPress with proper hosting if things don&#8217;t work out.</p><p>See you around!</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
