You can't imagine how much thought I put into that new username, lol. It took me weeks.. I even published a post about it.
At one point I was tired of thinking about it, so it became 'simply'mike.
The simply refers to the simple username, but it's also a little sarcastic, because of all the things I am, 'simply' is not one of them. My friends laughed when they heard the name the first time, lol. I'm such a messed up, complicated person - so I liked the contradiction.
(Recently I started to think that there's more to it than just sarcasm. It was my inner-self, the unconscious part of me that eventually decided. Because it is actually the struggle I'm dealing with these days: to just be, and to live in the now, 'simply' be myself. And because of this username, I am confronted with it every day, so I won't forget... Life works in strange ways 😉)
