Let’s start a blog!

Date

Hello World!

Until few months back this used to be my portfolio website. I visited it maybe once a year to see if it was still there and basically never did anything with it, barely even updated it. So it was pure waste of online space and I was never too surprised it barely had any visitors. Keeping a site like that felt wrong. This realization came at a time when I’ve been occasionally reading some interesting and inspiring blogs. I found myself “blogging in my head” while I was doing stuff and it seemed like it would be a fun thing to do for real. That’s when I decided to convert my portfolio website into a blog!

Even though a decision has been made, I kept postponing starting the blog, most of all, because it was scary (and still is). I wasn’t sure I have something interesting to share, I wasn’t sure I can keep up and be consistent with it, I wasn’t too comfortable with having my thoughts online… and it saddens me to admit that I have grown out of the habit of writing. While these factors made me keep postponing the idea, the internal “blogging” monologue kept going on, so I’ve decided to do it anyway and see “where it goes”.

For my first post I wanted to write a nice goal oriented, focused and clear article that lets you know all the amazing benefits of following this blog in the future, all the valuable content it will provide you with, all the things it will teach you… The truth is I can’t and if I keep trying to do that I’ll probably never even get to start and publish a single post. It seems to me that striving to capture the future content of a blog in the first post is like asking a one year old what his or her career is going to look like in 30 years. There are plenty of 30 year old people who aren’t even sure! After all everything we do is a work in progress and that should be fine! In fact staying the same should be the problem, not changing. What I am trying to say is that I can’t give you a clear outline of what this blog is going to be or become, but I expect there will be a lot of design and illustration, work in progress, walkthroughs and case studies and general thoughts on creativity and living the dream that lifestyle.

Hope you’ll join me on that journey!

Let’s have fun 😉
