at the start of this year, I felt an insatiable urge to make things happen, to put something out there, to replenish and rejuvenate myself by letting go. letting go, not merely in the way of parting ways with something or someone but also releasing work, sharing artifacts of creation: putting something out in the world.
not surprisingly, a dance commenced at that very moment between the perfectionism that I am to still scrape from deep inside my bones where they’ve been insidiously sunk in, and the Alice-like part of me that is brave, curious, sensitive, and occasionally bossy.
this resulted in me, getting in the process of developing a weblog that feels like me in color, content, and shape and occasionally posting what I want to say there. subtly keeping it to myself brought me closer and closer to Aaron Swartz & his Raw Thought.
so, how did we get here then?
after a very recent substack discovery of someone I fancy, I found myself trying it out. i guess I like the idea of discoverability. plus, there is something of a typewriter feeling of this interface that I enjoy.
that’s how we got here.
now we see how it works.
