A Long Break, A Difficult Year, and Getting Back to Building

#nextjs #webdev #programming

It feels like I haven’t posted here in a hundred years. 🥺😅
The truth is, the past months haven’t been the easiest.
Because of the situation in my country, I struggled a bit mentally and spent a lot of time trying to find work and figure out how to build a more stable path for myself.
Finding a job that actually provides a reasonable income has been difficult, so eventually I decided to stop waiting for the “right opportunity” and focus on building something of my own.
I started working on a website with Next.js, while continuing to learn and improve my development skills along the way.
It’s not a huge project, but for me, it represents something important: moving forward instead of staying stuck.
I’m still learning. I’m still figuring things out. And there are plenty of things I don’t know yet.
But I’ve realized that building real projects teaches me much more than simply collecting tutorials and courses.
So after a very long break, I’m getting back to sharing what I build, what I learn, and the mistakes I make along the way.
Hopefully, this is the beginning of a more active chapter here.
Back to building.
