About me - Luke Joseph
After being in Bulb for a year, I feel like this writing is long overdue.
Perhaps, it is because that this space is crypto and everyone wants to stay anonymous. But regardless, we can still write this article using our pen name. A little bit of face, here and there does not hurt that much too.
I hope that this will encourage our writers here in Bulb to follow - to build a community around friends that has the same goal. To earn using do to earn through writing and blogging.
I thank you for clicking to my article and reading my “About Me”. You have my deepest gratitude.

Let me first introduce myself, and with that, Hello! My name is Luke. I’m from Malaysia. Nice to meet you all!
I work as an engineer for profession, while having a dream of becoming financially independent.
But it isn’t because I hate my job, in fact far from it.
I wanted to be financially independent from 9–5 job because I want and must have more time with my family. While I create online income by doing the very thing I love — writing.
I don’t care much about richness and what luxury stuffs I can buy with it, I value the freedom that comes with it.
My Childhood Memories
Growing up, my father was rarely at home due to the nature of his job. He worked within Oil and Gas industry and were away from home more than half of my lifetime. Due to this, I barely knew him till I was at the age of 20.
We talked more as I grew older because of the similar interest we have for football clubs. Although we rarely talk about the deep things in life.
I envied those that have.
I never blamed him for the things that might be wrong with me during my teen years, I knew very well that he worked himself away from his family to provide a better life for his wife and my other siblings.
Looking at this, I would want to be there for my child. Always. I want them to know who I am as a person, and I wouldn’t want to miss every inch they grew over the years into the future.
My Why
The good news is that I can work up towards the goal from bottom — having independency from working traditional work into something that is much more modern.
Working for oneself on the internet.
Of course, this is a challenge that not just myself has to overcome, but for everybody else as well.
Some people believe that creating online income is easy, some said its difficult. I think its both.
In between my profession, and my dreams, the way out of the struggle is as easy as snapping my fingers.
Comfy job, comfy chair, but less time with my children.
That is the very reason why I write today. And the reason why I am here.
My Journey
I have been writing on and off through out my life since my teen years.
I didn’t start writing initially to earn, but more so because back at the year 2000, writing was the only form of expression over the internet.
Honestly, today, we have too much platform to express ourselves. In some cases, some over expressed themselves. lol.
As a shy teen, I first wrote about a crush whom I had for the longest time at the time, in hope that I would be able to express how I felt because I had no one to talk to about it.
I started writing online on WordPress. WordPress must be the oldest web platform right now and it still is one of the most popular writing tool.
Today, I tried to write in multiple platforms. Both web2 and web3 platforms. Mostly just platforms to promote my writings.
Web2: Medium
Web3: Bulb, Publish0x, Hive
I write mostly about self help, self education and its value, crypto, writing itself, and a little bit of financial education.
My Hopes and Dreams
Being a husband and a father to be, I feel that time became more constricted compared to when I was single.
Of course, that is to be expected.
I look forward to know, and learn from all of you while sharing the little knowledge and experience I have in life.
