The End of No One
2 years ago
After 7 years with my pseudonym, I am dropping the "No One" from my name.
I've been thinking about it a lot, and I don't align with nihilism anymore.
I want to be humble, I want to exhibit humility, but I don't think you need to be self-loathing to do that.
My philosophy has become much more existentialist; sure, there is no intrinsic meaning to life and existence, but what that really means is that we have the free will to shape value and worth in our own individual ways.
I've lost my affinity for the dark. The world ends in light, anyways.
I don't want to be no one anymore. I am one, as much as anyone is.
I'm trying on the name "Zoel Noon" to see how it fits. It's a nod to who I've been along my path, but it's a stated allegiance to the light instead of the dark. If I like it, I may do the whole "migrate to a new username" thing that people do sometimes. But I need to make sure it sits well after a few sleeps.
Thanks for reading, here is an emoji heart as gratitude 🤍

Theres always kurzgesagt.
Stay awesome, even if I end up just lurking about instead of talking.
You are such a poster model for kindness and thoughtfulness, I want to clone stamp you.
And I mean this in the kindest-hearted way, whenever you come up in household conversation, you are referred to as no one.
But.
For you.
I shall try.
