One thing that has continued to fascinate me since I moved to Seattle is just how much nature is cohabitating with us in this city. I'm inspired by the green trees, the red, yellow, and multicolored tulips, the pink and white sakura blossoms, and the abundant wildflowers I see every day.

I aim to highlight the way this organic life intermingles with our concrete forest and keeps me grinning every Spring.

About a year later and I've finally managed to get a domain I like and a server set up to host this *much anticipated* publication. Partly because I haven't been disciplined enough to sit down for more than an hour here or there to just do it, and partly because I'm not the best at reading / following written instructions 😅. But hey, I learned some new things about linux and nginx, so maybe it was a win after all. Yeah, we'll just go with that. Fast Forward

I have, however, kept this blog in mind over the past year and am excited to finally get to writing the backlog of posts I have accumulated. Tulips, kangaroos, sad tea videos, murlocs, and more coming your way...

Intro

Hi.

I've been meaning to start a blog for years and I always have some excuse not to. So I decided to just fucking do it. It doesn't need to have some cool theme, or clever writing, or divine purpose. I don't need to take it seriously, and I certainly don't need anyone to read it for it to make me happy.

What I hope to get out of it:

  • Improve my communication and writing skills
  • Expand my vocabulary
  • Writing things out helps me remember them (I have a terrible memory)
  • If I still forget, I have an archive of my memories
  • Something I write on here may be helpful or valuable for some other person in the universe
  • Reflecting on my life regularly will make sure I am being mindful, aware, and deliberate
  • Writing helps me formulate thoughts and opinions more clearly and with more confidence
  • I hope writing will force me to research topics I wouldn't have otherwise looked into
  • I think writing will bring me Joy

Things I might write about:

  • Traveling
  • Exploring Seattle
  • Cosplay
  • Sewing & Crafts
  • Code
  • Cooking & Favorite Recipes
  • VR/AR/MR/XR
  • Art
  • Book Summaries
  • Events & Life

About two years ago I was this close to starting a blog. I downloaded Ghost and was eager to get started. I spent a couple hours trying to figure out how it worked -- what was Markdown?? Node.js?? -- and eventually gave up because I couldn't think of the perfect name. Last year I learned to code and now I've made several node apps among other things. Somehow, I'm now a software engineer in the VR industry. It's one of the things I'm most proud of. But enough about me.

Let's see where this thing goes.

S.
