So, I am about to embark once again on an exercise that may ultimately prove to be a practice in futility: trying to post regularly on my blog. However, I don’t want to be too pessimistic, so I’ll just go on the assumption that this time it will all pan out.

A few days ago I was thinking about what it was exactly that might have led to the failure for me to keep a blog, and I think I figured it out: I had been working on the assumption that my blog should either be limited to a particular topic that I could share my insights and knowledge on, or that I should only post if there was something really important/interesting/non-private to tell people about my life (i.e. a regularly-kept, public journal).

I realize now that those assumptions were unnecessarily limiting, and so my goal for this new attempt at blogging are to share thoughts, feelings, etc., on a variety of different topics, ranging in various levels of importance to me; it probably won’t be a journal in the sense that I’m gonna chronicle my day, but if something happens that I decide would be fun to share, that could be a post. There may also very well be posts involving various ideas that I came up with (most likely formulated in either the shower or while driving alone in my car – two of my favorite times to do some serious thinking); maybe there will be some (semi-)nonsense posts as well.

Anyway, the point is that I’m gonna try my best to keep up with this. Hopefully my new strategy will allow me to regularly post without feeling restricted or inhibited. Thanks to any and all who end up reading
