It was my birthday recently. This made me reflect on the past year. I dug into my Obsidian vault to find out where I was one year ago. I didn’t find anything.

So I went further back and found a note from two years ago:

I want to write more.

Well, thanks, past-me. If you had actually written more, I would now know what you did one year ago. The feeling of not finding a journal entry made me a bit sad. But we can’t dial back time. So, heads up, change the present and shape the future.

I checked how much I actually did write in the past two years. I wrote on 91 days. That’s only about 12% of the days. That can be improved.

I am going to make this website my small corner in the big internet where I write about topics that interest me. The websites from マリウス.com and jonashietala.se, both of whom I have followed for a few years, inspired me. I’ve always admired their cozy online spaces.

For anyone who needs reasons for why to start writing, read Alex’s post that I stumbled upon on Hacker News… two years ago!

This site is my way of making sure the next two years won’t be as empty in terms of writing.
