The founder's story
"Where should I begin?
Many of you I've encountered online have asked about who I am, what I do, and where I come from. If you happen to be one of those people, I might disappoint you by not delving too much into myself in this section. It's not about secrecy or mystery; rather, Imaginary Friend wasn't created to be about me. Its purpose is for anyone across the globe to identify with it.
Chances are you're here because you stumbled upon one of my Instagram posts and, hopefully, found something you liked. My main intention is to provide top-notch self-help content, which is why I've chosen not to associate Imaginary Friend with my personal details. I want the reader to dissect my content from a neutral standpoint and derive whatever value they can from it. Knowing my name, cultural background, political views, or even the type of green juice I drink in the morning wouldn't add much value. Ps : i'll leave that to nowadays influencers, who are already excelling in such activity.
To quell any lingering curiosity, here are a few words about me: I'm a young man who was raised in a middle-class household. With effort on my part and sustained sacrifices from my parents, armed with a college degree, I landed a corporate job in business consulting. Before immersing myself in the centralized world of big corporations, my creative spirit led me to co-found a fashion brand specializing in minimalistic leather accessories. It was a rewarding entrepreneurial journey that eventually came to an end.
Entering the corporate world revealed how far I had strayed from my passions, engaging in daily tasks devoid of ethical sense. The toxic and cold environment of big corporations motivated me to delve into personal development, equipping myself with the knowledge and skills to navigate this challenging terrain.
As a person, I'd qualify as an 'overthinker,' questioning life's purpose, meaning, and happiness. My teenage interest in Human Dynamics led me to ponder why people do what they do, what influences their actions, and what leads to success. Observing the complexity of the world, I sought knowledge to navigate life smoothly, realizing that such knowledge is often lacking.
Humanism guides my choices, prompting me to share what I've learned. Imaginary Friend emerged as a platform to share valuable knowledge daily, fostering emotional intelligence and self-reliance. It encourages self-consciousness and the asking of the right questions. Truthfulness is a cornerstone, sharing life's realities regardless of their harshness.
In conclusion, the saying 'gaining knowledge is the first step to wisdom, sharing it is the first step to humanity' resonates with me. If you identify with this journey, join Imaginary Friend's Instagram community, find a meaningful quote in my feed, and share it with someone in need. Remember, when it comes to knowledge, nobody ever became poor by sharing it.
Sincerely,
Imaginary friend."
