I am a real Nowhere Man.

February 8, 2025 by Adam Mazek

This text won’t be about one of the most meaningful Beatles songs sung by John Lennon, “Nowhere Man.”

Contemplating and writing, while knowing that I am not a popular and read author and celebrity, I leave in writing my uncensored thoughts, which someone, someday, will indeed read and appreciate. Undoubtedly, all my works will be works of a Nowhere Man, almost anonymous. Do I care about that? No, because fame among people is futility. I write because I want to prove to myself that I am not living in a dark age and that I can skillfully direct and transform the electrical discharges occurring in my head, which we call thoughts, into the written word.

These were today’s Nowhere Man notes.

I am not an exceptional human. Or, I am unique, like everyone else. After all, uniqueness is common. John Lennon, mentioned at the beginning of this text, was distinctive, like all the other humans. Am I sad that I am a Nowhere Man, unknown to 99.99% of all the rest of people? Contrary. 

I think I am dumb, or maybe just happy. 

As Kurt Cobain sang in one of the best Nirvana songs, “Dumb.” I do not believe in fame. I do not think it would make me a better human. The truth is that I aim for good health, living a peaceful life with my Kamilka, and doing street photography, writing, and preparing subsequent “Diaries” editions until I die at one hundred years old. This is what counts for a Nowhere Man. I reject money and fame. These illusions are based on instant, idle gratification. Undoubtedly, fame and money are not the answers to anything. I do not have to be as famous worldwide and rich as Donald Trump to know everything I wrote above. What I know is that simply we all can die shortly, and we won’t take our wealth and fame to the underworld. Money and fame are a mirage that leads to nowhere. That wrote I, the Nowhere Man.
