For some, the hardest part of the journey is the first step. For me, the hardest part is clicking “Publish”.
This blog has been a long time coming. I’ve brainstormed, planned, and overthought this project more times than I care to admit. But every time I got close to launching, I found a reason to stall.
Is it unique enough? Am I a good enough writer? Do I have enough time?
In a strange twist— or rather, a click of fate— I published this blog accidentally before it was even fully baked.
I’m fairly new to WordPress and thought I was publishing a single page, not the whole website. Instead of panicking, I took it as a sign to move ahead.
Was the navigation bar functional? No. Did I have any posts yet? Also, no.
Part of the philosophy of this blog is Lo-fi Living. It’s about accepting imperfection. It’s about prioritizing being over performing.
How can I write about embracing imperfection if I am too afraid to be imperfect myself?
I am incredibly happy to finally be moving forward with this. It feels good to get these thoughts out of my head onto the screen, and to connect with others.
There is a lot to write about, but for today, I’m just celebrating the fact that I’ve finally started.
Welcome to the blog.
