Hi,

This is Alden Tan and I am the writer of this blog. I don't want you to bore you with a long ass intro that tries too hard to be a TED Talk, so here you go:

. This blog actually existed more than a decade ago. It was my first venture as an entrepreneur as I learnt internet marketing myself. It was also my foray into being a professional writer on my own terms.

. You could say I pretty much fucked it all up. I always call the first attempt an ultimate failure (despite all my lessons and success) as I eventually went totally broke and went back to work by getting employed.

. After living through the chaos that was Covid and everything, I am back here again. I do want to be an entrepreneur and writer.

. This blog really doesn't give a fuck.

It doesn't.

It's not about me teaching you how to not give a fuck about what others think or say so you can live life courageously on your own.

It just doesn't give a fuck because I've stopped giving a fuck.

The ideas that are niching down, following trends on social media, making money with content and even solutions on how to improve your life (most of which are cringey shit) have honestly made me question the human condition and why we think we need to live this way just to suceed in a modern society.

I don't have the answer yet. So I'll just stop caring for now as I create stuff and hopefully help others along the way.

If you feel the same way and constantly cringe at what's out there, maybe this blog is for you then.

I am passionate about mental health, self-improvement, creativity and stupid, funny shit that's entertaining.

. One Dude Listening is my fashion arm. I call it a personal fashion brand centered around mental health for dudes. Check it out for some cool T-Shirts!

. I am here to build a personal brand where I eat, live and breathe as a creative. Stay and I hope you enjoy yourself!
