&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;rsquo;t believe in a world where people are merely looked at through the lens of functions they perform. I believe in the power of personality. I believe that each and every one of us bears a divine creative spark inside. And the paths we travel, the people we meet, the things that bring us joy are the means to kindle this spark and share its creative flames with those close to us.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Becoming a Tech Writer</title><link>https://galleon8.com/posts/first-one/</link><pubDate>Thu, 30 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0300</pubDate><guid>https://galleon8.com/posts/first-one/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="first-steps"&gt;First Steps&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It took me a decent number of years to become fully aware that I truly love the work that I do, that I have not only joined but utterly belong to the path that I once said &amp;ldquo;Yes&amp;rdquo; to many years ago.
