Whoa, I started a blog.

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.
