Why I Write This Blog (Even If No One Reads It)

At some point, I realized I needed a place to track what really matters to me—or at least, what feels important in the moment. Starting this blog was my way of documenting ideas, creative inspiration, and personal growth before they slip away unnoticed. Call it a journal, a digital sketchpad, or just a place to overthink things out loud.

I’m trying to build a more creative life. That means writing more, playing more, and following through on projects instead of letting perfectionism stall me out. This blog helps me stay focused. It reminds me what I’m working toward—and holds me just accountable enough to keep going.

In a way, it’s a tool to check in with myself:

• Am I making progress on the things that matter?
• Am I still chasing my ambitions, or just running in circles?
• What does success even look like right now?

By writing, I’m hoping to remember what fuels me creatively—and maybe figure out how to feel more fulfilled along the way. Starting a blog might feel like a throwback move, but it’s a good one for someone who wants to take stock of their ideas and actually make something of them.

This site’s mostly for me, but I’m keeping it public in case anyone else finds it interesting or relatable. Even if no one does, getting my domain to host something besides my inbox already feels like a small win. I’ve always enjoyed designing something I’m proud to put my name on, and this blog finally gives me a place to do that again.

I’ll admit, the setup didn’t go entirely to plan—I couldn’t get the free host I wanted to work, so I launched the site on Google Sites just to get moving. I’m looking forward to brushing up on my HTML and updating things soon, but for now, I’m learning to live with good enough. Starting something is better than waiting for perfection that never shows up.

That’s something I picked up back when I was first learning web design: never use an “under construction” page. Because really, your site should always be under construction.

I guess that goes for me too.
