Welcome to my new blog!
Yep, I’ve started (yet) another blog.
At this point you’re probably thinking:
“I already know how this will go. He’ll be excited about this for a few days. He’ll probably even publish a handful of articles over the next couple of weeks. But then, he’ll stop posting and eventually take everything off the internet again”.
Even though I hate to admit it, ... you’ve got a point. After all, this is how my previous three attempts of blogging ended. So, why should this time be different?
Truth be told, this blog might come to a premature end too.
After all, I’m still struggling with the same issues: life is incredibly busy (especially now where our second kid was just born), I’ve got too many interests to chase and last, but not least, writing is still incredibly difficult for me.
Nevertheless, I’ve decided to give this blog a chance. That’s because there are two major differences compared to my earlier efforts:
This will become my personal blog. There won’t be a central theme tying it all together. I’ll just write whatever I feel like writing about. You’ll probably see a mix of general life updates, personal reflections, stories from my past and summaries of whatever it is I’m currently interested in.
I’ve decided to finally get serious about writing. I’ve become more aware of my own mortality thanks to a recent health scare (a herniated disc, but more on that later). I’ve always wanted to be a writer, but never really acted on that desire. Instead, I kept telling myself “not today” and that someday I’ll get started. But that excuse won’t do any longer.
This blog will be where my journey starts. I don’t know where I’ll end up or what lies ahead of me. But I’m keen to find out.
If you’d like to come along, please do – I’d appreciate your company!
