My 1st Post: Resolve for Change

This blog has been a long time coming - over a decade now actually. I have so many half complete blog posts - some I didn't even remember I had from years ago! The funny thing about starting, or rather not starting something, is that everything you think mattered to getting started didn't actually matter.

The most important thing is actually doing the thing and building up the engine along the way. Because, now a decade later, what I thought to write about a decade ago is hardly relevant anymore - it's lost! Those half complete thoughts may have never been full-on delicacies, but if they made it to be barely palatable, they'd be in existence, and who I was and how I thought would be there - immortalized (so to speak) - instead of lost. Few ways of being lost are as so personally painful as being lost by inaction.

With this experience in mind, I'm trying to reduce my expectations on what it means for me to write daily and just start writing. Getting my thoughts out you know, and maybe, improving along the way? At the very least, when I'm 40, I'll have something to look back on to get a glimpse of what I wanted to convey when I was 30.

Starting today, I will just write - ideally once a day, but as much as I can. This endeavor is ultimately for my enjoyment and self-exploration :) the last thing I want to do is make it painful to do.

This wasn't really a New Year's Resolution, but I guess it ended up being on Jan 1st :) I'll take it as good fortune. Happy New Year.
