The journey of content sharing: Embracing the uncertainty 🔮

Dear reader, I'm not sure about this article.

**Act I) I always postponed my first article. The reasons:
**

1. Do I have enough expertise to share this content?
2. Why recreate the wheel?
3. Am I prepared to receive negative comments?
4. Spending some time from my studies to create a readable article it is something I'm in concordance with?

Although these questions constantly keep flying over my head, I believe a good content can be created by anyone with good intentions when writing their own experiences. Perharps, the respective answers to the same questions are: 

1. Who cares?
2. I'm creating this at the same time a cellphone to order a pizza is being launched. It's okay.
3. Yes! Yet, keeping in mind that the replies will be destined only to the real critics and not the unpleasant, rude comments we have all over the internet.
4. Once in a while I revisit my old codes, projects and discussions with peers. I believe creating better, structured contents could decrease the amount of time I've been spending searching correlations between projects X and discussions Y.

As a starter in this journey, I thought that creating the title before the content would be a good start. Now, after a few lines written, I'm considering this wasn't a good idea since "Starting with Kafka as a layman in distributed messaging system" can be a lot of things, except what I wrote until now.

I'm 100% sure the DEV community has a ton of article about beginnings, restarts, content creation. But, if I'm honest, allowing my mind to put some frustrations over here can help with the same journey I mentioned before. I'm giving myself the opportunity to make some mistakes, solve them, commit some more and continue to solve over and over. This is basically the process that most of the best experiences and results we have gone through over time - The experimental design. 

**Act II) Commitment with myself 
**

I really want to test the hypotheses of being a person allowed to share the minimal amount of knowledge I have and the one I conquered in my experience through the tech field. So, for this,  some rules must be followed. In Brazil the slang '_Aqui não é bagunça_' needs to prevail over here. In an authorial translation, it means something like _'No disorder allowed_', so I need to take care and put some order on the mess I'm stuck with, a.k.a. my own mind.

I'm already finishing what should be a tutorial and it ended up being more an monologue. I know (I really do) that more research should be done before stipulating some rules regarding this project in order to avoid any frustration in the future. But, this is the first attempt at something I wanted to do for a really long time, so no judgements if they're not 100% followed, ok? I already have a ton of signed courses and 30-day challenges I never finished looking back to me once in a while in my dreams.

At least one article per week can be reasonable, isn't? I can start doing something by Sunday morning and finish it by the next friday. 

Assuming that I'm a person of diferent tastes such as Light theme on my IDE, preferring tea over coffee and being on the (right)  side of the battle between Java :D and Javascript D:, my intention is always to continue diversifying the content in my articles, so different groups (or even no one) can enjoy the things I write. 

**Act III) Thanks.
**

Last but not least, thank you if you reached here on this random, open heart session. I'm glad someone thought this slightly interesting to take some time out of the day to read. This can have different interpretations, but for me, it's a reminder to keep going. From now on, the best thing I can do for myself is to keep going no matter what. I hope you continue reading the next contents until you feel it's not interesting anymore.
