Why
This site exists because I don’t want my work to be hostage to platforms.
I’ve been writing daily since September 17, 2011. Over 15 years of journal entries, hundreds of thousands of words, all because I refuse to let days slip by unnoticed. The web changes fast, but plain text lasts.
What I’m trying to do here
- Write in public without turning myself into a brand.
- Build a durable archive of essays, projects, and notes.
- Make things that are useful, especially for writers, readers, and small organizations.
- Participate in the independent web, creating for humans, not feeds or engagement.
What I believe
Own your work
I’m pro-blogs, pro-RSS, pro-plain-text, pro-portability.
If a platform can change the rules overnight, it’s rented land instead of your home.
Accessibility is part of the craft
I care about readable pages, clear structure, and sites that don’t punish people for how they browse.
Shipping less, writing clearly, and building interfaces that work are all forms of respect.
Community matters more than metrics
I’d rather have ten thoughtful readers than ten thousand drive-by impressions.
Why I write
Proof of existence
I write because I want to prove I was here. Each word is evidence that I existed, that I thought, that I felt. The act of writing becomes resistance against the inevitable erasure of time.
I believe everyone's life is a story worth telling. My journals and writing are my story, each entry a paragraph in the ongoing narrative of who I am becoming. To not write would be to leave blank pages in the book of my existence.
Against wasted days
I refuse to let days slip by unnoticed. Each entry is a conscious act of attention, a way of saying "I was here, I was awake, I was paying attention." Without writing, I fear my life would become a blur of forgotten moments.
Medicine and healing
Writing is how I think, how I learn, how I process pain, how I make sense of experience. The act of putting words to suffering transforms it from something that happens to me into something I can examine, understand, and eventually release.
Writing can be medicine when written from bone and blood rather than theory and ambition.
Legacy and connection
I write because I want to leave something meaningful behind. Not just for myself, but for others who might find themselves in similar struggles. My writing is imperfect, personal, and honest.
I write to connect with others, to help them feel less alone. My words are my way of reaching across the void, of saying "I see you, I understand, you're not alone."
