The forest didn’t fix it.

A few years ago, I reached a breaking point. I was carrying the weight of heavy duties that wouldn’t shut off, so I did what everyone suggests: I retreated. I went to the forest, thinking the silence of the trees would heal the noise in my head.

But even in total silence, the internal “circle” kept spinning. I realized then that peace isn’t something you find out there — it’s something you have to actively build.

I didn’t need a retreat; I needed a release valve. That’s why I built UnloadMe. I wanted to create a digital space that felt as real and tactile as the physical world. I moved away from the passive meditation model and built a tool for active unloading. It uses human‑captured sounds and a responsive interface to let you physically capture a thought and let it go.

I built this because I needed a way to carry the heavy duties of my life without the weight of the noise. I hope it helps you do the same.
