Word of the Week #209:
I just realised! We have just completed four years of uninterrupted posts! Woohoo!
That’s pretty impressive, I think. This streak has already lasted longer than any of my romantic relationships. Does that mean the streak is long or that relationships aren’t long enough, I wonder…
The purpose of this blog has evolved so much over these years.
Originally, this was supposed to help me sell my books. Yeah, I have literally no idea how that would have worked, but that’s what I was told.
I soon started posting a lot of—at least in my opinion—rich content, but it got too taxing and I could not keep up. I had to pause and strip it down to the bare minimum. After all, isn’t that how I like it?
Then, for a while, I thought I could monetise the blog to earn some extra money. Of course, that never came to be.
Then I thought I could use my words to change the world. Now, of course, I have not run out of words, but nor have I changed the world. Let’s see how that goes.
Eventually, this blog has become an anchor, and I say that in the best way possible. It ensures that, no matter what happens in the real, no matter what else shuts down, I will always be here every Tuesday night, doing what I do… best? I actually don’t know if that is entirely true, but, you get what I mean, right?
This small, simple activity gives my life just a hint of structure around which I can build the foundation of my life.
After all, my life is still just beginning.
