Introducing GOODAY: Origins and Purpose

The year 2026 marks the launch of my blog, GOODAY. This journey began without a predetermined strategy, comprehensive plan, or vision board. Instead, it was fuelled by a growing enthusiasm for mental wellness and an expanding interest in fashion, which naturally broadened to embrace design, architecture, interior design, and related disciplines. The availability of reliable internet connectivity made this exploration possible. The direction and future of the blog are impossible to predict. One aspect, however, will remain constant: the blog will be managed solely by myself. This independent approach is sustained by a dedicated commitment to adequate rest and self-care.

The Need for Depth Beyond Social Media

Platforms like Instagram and TikTok excel at sharing visual content, but they are not designed for in-depth discussion. Some concepts cannot be effectively communicated within a caption, and certain stories require more than just a simple swipe. There are questions that need more comprehensive answers than what a few images and brief moments can offer. For some time, I have searched for a medium that allows for a thoughtful and thorough approach to writing—one that is not constrained by algorithms, posting schedules, or character limits. GOODAY fulfils this need. Through this platform, I aim to examine the industries that captivate me in greater depth, delving not only into surface-level topics such as fashion, but also exploring the underlying systems, cultural changes, and subtle influences that are often omitted from mainstream communications.

Living with Overthinking

I have never been able to let a moment simply exist and fade away; instead, every experience must be dissected, scrutinised, and analysed until its original essence is lost. This relentless examination is part of my nature. Overthinking is not just a habit for me—it is a chronic condition. If there were such a thing as a professional overthinker, I would likely find myself analysing even the job description for that role. This tendency accompanies me through all aspects of life, acting as both my most constant ally and, paradoxically, my most persistent adversary.

Why I Returned to Writing

In a world that often feels determined to numb our emotional responses, I have chosen to return to writing because I believe in the power of words to evoke genuine feeling. My purpose here is to stir something real within people, to remind us of the importance of emotion and connection at a time when society seems intent on dulling these very experiences.

The Longing for Simplicity and Depth

There is a growing desire among people to rediscover simplicity and depth in their lives. I am continually inspired by writers who share original, breathtaking ideas and cultural musings—those whose words have the power to give me goosebumps. Their work stands in stark contrast to the constant stream of quick, viral content encouraged by social media experts on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, where the mantra seems to be "post, post, post" until something catches on. But true inspiration is never forced; it doesn’t emerge from this cycle of regurgitation. This is why so much of the online world feels uninspired to me, filled with content created out of obligation rather than authentic, creative passion.

The Value of Authentic Creativity

Being a lover of long-form writing and literature in the age of social media’s endless scroll is not easy. I am not interested in fake inspiration or curating content just for the sake of aesthetics. I am drawn to authentic inspiration—the kind that comes from doing what you genuinely love, not what you think you are supposed to love. While the digital era brings its own advantages, like the immediacy and sense of global community, I want to go deeper and truly analyse these changes.

Writing as an Act of Rebellion

To write—truly write—in a world obsessed with speed and brevity is almost an act of rebellion. It is a way of focusing on what really matters, exploring subjects that might otherwise be overlooked in the clamour for quick content. Sometimes it feels as if I am speaking a dying language; there was a time when social media supported meaningful, long-form storytelling and engaged audiences on a deeper level. Today, the appetite for such depth on these platforms has diminished, replaced by the need to be seen without having to perform.

The Purpose of GOODAY

This is the kind of connection I want to nurture—a sense of being seen for who you truly are, not for how well you perform online. That is why I created GOODAY: as a reclamation of the long-form essay, the personal narrative, and the wandering thought piece. This is what excites me and, therefore, what truly deserves my attention.
