In the relentless march of internet endeavors, where blogs are birthed and buried with our forgotten New Year's resolutions, here lies my latest act of defiance, a personal blog that dares to exist despite its creator's illustrious history of digital ephemera.
Yes, you read that correctly. This isn't my first rodeo in the blogging arena, but it is the first under the grand marquee of my own name. Bold? Perhaps. Or just another earnest stab at starting afresh, and a bit more personal.
Our current digital landscape is a cacophony of voices clamoring for attention, offering insights into everything from the profound to the profoundly mundane. I step into this arena not with the arrogance of someone claiming to offer uncharted wisdom but with the resignation of a wanna-be writer who understands, at the very least, that this blog is mostly a fun distraction for me.
A nod to all my past blogs—those that burst onto the scene with grandeur and quietly faded into internet obscurity. Here's to my stubborn belief that there's always a new take, even on the oldest tales.
Consider this a repository for musings that strike at 3 a.m., from daily absurdities to my health journey with a rare disease and occasional rants on my life's bewildering simplicities—like avocados that ripen only when unwatched.
In the spirit of Fran Lebowitz, who advised, "Think before you speak. Read before you think," I am striving for a hint of thoughtfulness in our quick-fire opinion era. Whether this space will illuminate or simply add an entertaining footnote to the internet's archives is an open question.
With all that said, welcome all those who have wandered here, whether by chance, curiosity, or an unlucky twist of fate. May you find reasons to linger, to chuckle, and to ponder as you delve into the musings of someone who, though not a blogger in the traditional sense, crafts essay-style reflections with a tireless spirit.
Here, you'll find personal musings ranging from mildly amusing to moderately insightful, all delivered with the self-assurance of someone who has launched more blogs than successful diets.
This is more of a repository for my thoughts that strike at three in the morning, observations on the absurdity of everyday life, my health journey living with a rare and chronic disease, and perhaps the occasional rant on why, in the age of limitless information, we still find ourselves baffled by the simplest of things—like why avocados ripen exclusively when you're not looking.
In the spirit of Fran Lebowitz, who famously said, "Think before you speak. Read before you think," this blog will strive to offer perhaps a semblance of thoughtfulness in a world where hot takes and instant opinions are the currencies of the realm. Whether it becomes a beacon of enlightenment or simply another footnote in the annals of internet history remains to be seen. But, at the very least, it promises to be an entertaining footnote.
So, I warmly welcome the handful of readers who have stumbled upon this page—either by accident, curiosity, or sheer bad luck.
May you find reasons to linger, chuckle, and ponder as you explore the writings of one who has decided to write again not just to occupy space on the internet but to explore my thoughts and perhaps even share a hearty laugh.
