Some people grow in straight lines, like cypress trees. And then there are those of us who grow diagonally, in spirals, in curves. Sometimes we bloom upward, other times we stretch sideways, like a plant searching for more light. It’s not confusion. It’s thirst. It’s life.
As a child, I loved drawing. But I also loved reading for hours, programming on the computer, learning new languages, and discovering strange technologies. Every day was a little experiment, a new door waiting to be opened. One day I wanted to be a fashion designer. Another day, a biologist. Maybe neither. Maybe both. The truth is, I didn’t want to choose—I wanted to explore, to change, to reinvent myself.
I remember a time when I started building a website, found myself immersed in an online UX course, and at the same time, I was studying Project Management. None of those paths ended as planned, but each one left a mark, a thread that today weaves into others. At the time, it felt like dispersion. Now I realize it was a map.

When ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ becomes a trap
We live in a world that celebrates specialization. Choose a path. Stick to it. Become an expert. But for those who are drawn to multiple worlds, choosing can feel like cutting off vital parts of ourselves. And when you cut your branches, you can’t grow. As an adult, I tried being ‘just one thing at a time.’ And every time, I ended up dreaming of something else. The problem wasn’t me—it was the belief that there’s only one valid way to live.

What It Means to Be a Multipotentialite
Multipotentiality isn’t indecision. It’s an internal structure, a way of thinking and feeling. It’s the ability to learn quickly, to see hidden connections, to innovate through variety. Being multipotential is also an emotional journey. The joy of starting something new. The rush of the initial spark. But also the weight of guilt, when your enthusiasm fades and you feel like you’re not consistent enough.
You’re not designed to function in a straight line. There’s a time to start and a time to let go. Even if you abandon a project halfway, write down what it gave you. That seed might grow again in another context. Try creating a “map of yourself”: list your interests, your skills, your passions. They often have more in common than you think. And if strict schedules suffocate you, work in energy blocks: creative, executive, exploratory moments.

What I Wish I Knew Sooner
If I could go back, I’d hug myself and say: “You’re not too much. You’re full.” Every project you left behind, every detour, every night you felt like you were wrong… they were just steps toward a greater identity. One day, looking back, you’ll see you weren’t off course. You were building an ecosystem. Each branch growing was part of a complex and beautiful tree.

This Space is for You
This blog is a home for minds like yours and mine.
If you’ve ever felt like too much — or not enough — you belong here.
We’ll talk about gentle productivity, parallel projects, possible routines. But above all, we’ll talk about acceptance. Because being multipotential isn’t a flaw to overcome—it’s an abundance to harmonize.
Have you ever felt like you had to give up a part of yourself just to function better? What would you do today if you weren’t afraid of seeming inconsistent? What project taught you the most, even if you never finished it?
Write to me in the comments. Let’s share our stories. Let’s map ourselves together.
