Why I Waited So Long to Start a Blog (And Why I’m Finally Doing It)

For almost three years, I kept telling myself: “One day, I’ll start my blog.”

I always wanted to share my journey in test automation, the experiments I was doing, and the lessons I was learning. But that “day” never really came. Not even once did I publish a single blog post.

Why I Delayed So Much

The truth? I was trapped.

• Trapped by the fear of being judged.

• Trapped by the weight of perfectionism.

I thought I needed:

• the perfect blogging platform

• the perfect domain

• the perfect design

Everything had to be polished before I dared to hit publish.
And in chasing this perfection, I kept delaying… until years slipped by.

The Turning Point

Today, I finally opened up about this problem to ChatGPT. And the reply I got completely shifted my mindset.

“You’re waiting for your Ferrari while people are already racing ahead on scooters. Embrace the principle of ‘ugly first.’ Your first post will not be perfect—maybe even your first 20 won’t. And that’s okay. Nobody might notice them. But by the time you reach your 50th post, you’ll be in a very different place. The only way to get there is to start.”

That hit me hard.

What I Realized

It took me less than one hour to set up this blog.
The delay wasn’t about time or resources—it was about me. I was standing in my own way.

So here I am, finally pressing Publish.

My Promise to Myself

• I won’t worry if the post looks ugly.

• I won’t obsess over whether people read it or not.

• I will keep writing—messy, imperfect, and honest.

Because the most important part isn’t perfection—it’s showing up.
It’s about sharing what’s in your heart instead of waiting forever for the “perfect moment” that never comes.

✨ This is my beginning. And I’m finally glad I started.
