Relaunching my personal site

Last updated November, 2024


I hate to write, but I love having written. - Dorothy Parker

I've had iterations of my personal site since ~2018, but I've never been happy with it. I've always wanted to have a place to write, but I've never been able to find the right balance between the building the site and writing content. I've always been more interested in the former, which has led to a lot of half-finished blog posts.

But as I turn 30, I wish I had written more. I wish I had a place to look back on my thoughts and experiences. So I'm going to try again. I'm going to try to write more, and I'm going to try to build a site that makes it easy to do so. Not only that, I going to incorporate some family aspects - that way I have another reason to keep it up to date.

I'm going to try and post at least once a month, no matter how short or long the post. I will also not feel the pressure to publicly share every post - this has been a blocker for me in the past. I'm going to write for me, and if I feel like sharing, I will.

Here's to writing more in 2025. Cheers 🍻
