I’ve always found my thoughts easier to write than to speak. I think it’s because I like the silence amidst the chaos in my mind. I find beauty in scrambling down important details and notes because my brain isn’t wired to retain information as soon as it hears it. That’s why I write; it makes me center my thoughts and make sense of the foggy cloud.
In this blog, I’ll share different topics and how I relate to them. They won’t be sequential nor do I want them, and sometimes they might give a voice to issues we like to avoid like family, finances, and ideologies. The aim is to open up conversations and learn from each other. I’m not an expert on these things, but I have an opinion that I’m willing to share. I understand that opinions differ; when they do, let’s agree to be civilized. We have other things to worry about and conserving energies, in my experience, helps deal with them.
My name is Norman, some friends call me Herbz short for Habana after the great South African rugby winger, Bryan Habana but that’s a story for another day. By profession, I write code and develop systems. By passion, I like investing and the idea of financial independence. I like sports, fitness, and writing. I love my family. I love Liverpool F.C. so if you’re looking to gift me, a ticket to watch them wouldn’t be a bad idea.
