Before blogging was even a word, I had already started my site to keep as an open journal of sorts. It had memories from when I was in JC all the way till… whenever it was that I lost the site and had no backup of it. Since then, I had very little motivation to re-start the site and on the rare moments when I had a flash of inspiration, it would quickly die down as I realised how self-conscious I had become – 15 completed drafts but never being able to click Publish.

But here I am, trying it one more time as I try to execute a transitionary phase of my Life. I set up the account rather quickly and found myself wanting to get a nice template before a part of me went,

“You sure you want to spend close to $100 on something you might abandon in the next 2 weeks?”

So… Here’s what I’m going to do – If I can keep up a frequency of at least twice a week for the next 2 weeks, I’ll let myself buy a template to beautify things a little.

Until then, I’ll just stick to the default WordPress template.

(and because of the era we’re living in, I want to say, “No. I won’t be using AI to write anything.” Reasons for that shall be a post of its own)

I used to be able to write at length about random things without being too conscious about what others might think. I want to be able to do that again. It feels like I’ve been minimising myself so much in recent years that I think no one sees me anymore.
