Word of the Week #407:

Pretext

It is strange how none of my original reasons for starting this blog are applicable anymore, and yet, I don’t want to stop.

Well, yes, sometimes, on the laziest of Tuesday nights, after I’ve already had a long day and I’m debating with myself about whether I should keep writing these posts, I do want to stop, but I tend to find reasons not to.

Yes, none of my original reasons are applicable anymore, but at the same time, none of the benefits I have gained from writing this were within my expectation. One cannot distinguish correlation and causation in these scenarios, but if I like the person I am becoming, then that is all the more reason to just keep doing what I’m doing, right?
