To truly answer "Who am I?" I'd have to write a book—or maybe a few. Not because I'm particularly special or even at all interesting, but because it's probably the toughest question out there. Oh, see? Right in the first sentence, you’ve already stumbled upon my philosophical side. Sorry for that. Anyway, sticking to just the social aspect of my life, I'm a 30-something active freelancer, primarily working as an SEO/SEM specialist, though I also dabble in analytics and general marketing. In my free time, I focus on self-care—working out, meditating, or cooking. Also, I still nurture some of my childhood hobbies, like dancing, which was my guiding light during the darkest times of my life. I have a little dream of teaching a choreo class someday, whenever the opportunity pops up. I'm a spiritual person—not in a weird, but in a life-loving way, and therefore also in a way that includes you, dear reader. And of course, I love writing.

In Irrelevant Matters I try my best to:

• promote general curiosity and self-inquiry
• explore various ideas and approaches to life
• challenge cultural and social keys
• question current trends
• promote philosophy, spirituality (not religion), and science

I want to spread curiosity and ideas, not frustration and unnecessary confusion. My goal is to leave the reader with a positive and clear impression, regardless of the difficulty of the topic—I do what I can to enrich people’s experiences without causing unnecessary confusion.

Consider this a place where you can always read something interesting about culture, society, philosophy, science, ideas, and spirituality, free from dogma, politics, ideology, and other poisons for your mind.

If you enjoy my work, you can subscribe to the newsletter, become a member, or buy me a coffee to help me stay afloat. You can also check out our great reading lists for nearly endless, carefully curated inspiration. And finally, here are all the places you can find me.

At Irrelevant Matters, our primary focus is to share ideas, spark curiosity, and promote understanding without dogma or unnecessary confusion. That said, sustaining this space and continuing to publish meaningful content requires resources—this beautiful spinning rock we share also happens to have rent and hosting fees.

To help keep things afloat, we occasionally use affiliate links in our posts. This means that if you click on a link and decide to make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. These commissions help me maintain the website and dedicate more time to writing, researching, and exploring the topics. Importantly, we only recommend books, tools, or products that align with the spirit of Irrelevant Matters—those we genuinely believe are worth your time.

Transparency matters. You’ll always know when something is an affiliate link or promotional content because we strive to clarify it at the top of every affiliate post. Rest assured, our recommendations are based on their merit, not potential earnings. Our ultimate goal remains the same: to enrich your experience and spark meaningful thought.
