When I was about 13 I began watching youtube videos on how to make videogames with Unity engine and I made my own little horror games. I remember spending most of my wake time watching these videos, programmingin C# and playing either minecraft of The Sims 1.

During the same time I wanted to make youtube videos myself so I started a gaming channel where I would play minecraft and other games. This was a crazy yourney: I learned so many thing like advanced redstone, video editing and recording, creating miniatures with photoshop and so many other things. I was really invested in my minecraft world and I remember this period as an happy one because I had always so many redstone projects in mind and I was working on something that made me proud. However, even good things come to an end and by 2019 my perfectionism was making me anxious and depressed because everything had to be perfect and I could not allow myself any errors. I decided to quit the channel out of frustration and play other games like Dark Souls 1 and Skyrim.

After a family trip in northern Italy I remember I was curious about "how do people make computer programs", so I asked my dad, which is not an expert, but he hinted that they were made with programming languages "like C++". When I came back home I started looking what was this "c++". I downloaded dev-c++ and began writing classic programs like text based games with decision trees. I still have many of those.

It was time for me to go to high school.
