My name is Ian—well, I'm almost 31, but this is my first time joining a community like this. My head is spinning a little, as if I’ve just stepped out of a cave where I’d been lingering for an eternity. In life, I’m an extremely private person who keeps a circle of only 2–3 friends, but I’m always open to communication and new experiences.
As a writer, I explore universal human struggles beyond nationality, class, or gender, believing that every individual, despite their circumstances, has the right to self-expression. My work spans genres and cultural contexts while maintaining a core theme: the search for identity, the rejection of imposed societal molds, and the struggle against a sense of worthlessness in a world that often devours everything—even people.
My whole life has been about the ability to listen. As a professional listener, I aim to give a voice in my work to those who are ignored or silenced in real life for one reason or another. These voices can belong to all kinds of people—the most ordinary ones—but in every individual struggle, I see universal human themes.
In my creative practice, I strive to create scenarios for the reader (or potentially, the viewer) that allow them to step into the character’s shoes, understand their pain, and face alongside them what can be hard to cope with alone. This is what I work with, because I am deeply interested in people and in their battles that may remain unseen by others.
I started out as a writer, but for the first time, I’m transitioning to the English language and working with screenplays. I’m not sure I’ll manage to achieve anything, given the many circumstances beyond my control and the challenges of my life — but I’ll at least give it a try :)
Thank you for reading my post. I’d be glad if you shared what drives you!
