Although blogging is not considered trendy now, and the internet is much more interested in centralised, short-form posting on social media, I have followed various blogs as I’ve grown up and the ideas I’ve taken from people’s blogs have been a big inspiration on how to live.
Aspiring to be like the bloggers I respect so much, I set this site up so that I could share my thoughts on living well, develop my own voice, and perhaps most importantly develop high quality ideas through the process of writing them down for someone else to read.
Unfortunately, in the quest for quality ideas, I focused too heavily on putting out quality, and not nearly enough on putting out ideas. As a result, in the three years I’ve had this blog, I’ve only published two posts. I’m a big believer in the idea that you need to get good at showing up before you can focus on doing well. When you put out a large volume of work, you naturally begin to refine it through rapid-fire trial and error. Spending large quantities of time on each post means that your opportunities to learn are far more limited.
That’s why I’m writing this post. This is a commitment to showing up. I’m going to write more posts, with less filtering for quality. The posts might be bad for a while, but that’s okay.
Hopefully I’ll see you around here a little more often from now on!
