Introduction
I'm never sure how to do introductions, the awkward dance between individuals, as we try to determine who we are, what makes us tick.
I don't want to waste your time, but this is just my safe space on the internet. A comfy blanket to wrap myself in as I battle the ongoing storm my own brain likes to create for me.
I used to blog, so you'd think I'd be better at this, hey? I used to enjoy creating things, learning in public, having a small voice in a large void, enjoying my own warmth. But then the fog sets in, it rolls over in waves. It encompasses everything I loved, and colours faded.
I used to justify the next near-decade of inactivity as I'm busy, or I don't have motivation today or I'm too depressed to attempt this but the bullshit is starting to permeate into my every aching inch of life.
So fuck that, I don't need motivation. I need discipline.1 I need to set achievable goals. An accountability plan.
I will do the following within 2024
- Pick up photography again, and release 2 projects
- Wild camp 5 times, attempting to climb a Munro each time
- Program again. Just create something again
- Lose weight, to the point of no longer being considered morbidly obese
- Read 10 books
- Break the short-form content consumption loop (basically, break my addiction to my phone)
- Blog weekly, either about my progress, something that interests me, or just for the sheer fun of it.
- Continue to improve on cooking, and create healthier meal plans
See you star side. I love you.
Lost, but surviving.
