Is this thing on?

If you’ve landed here, then maybe this can be our meet-cute (blog edition). When people ask, we’ll of course say we met online. After all in this day and age how else do people meet. When asked what was it about this blog that caught your eye, you can truthfully say “reading it is like talking to a friend” or maybe “reading it is like talking to that new friend who seems overly familiar and some what chaotic”. Hi, yes that’s me!

But you know nothing about me and I know nothing about you. Let’s change that.

I am a 30-something year old just trying to claim my piece of the internet real estate. I used to tell people that if I didn’t work a 9-5, I would write…until someone said “so write”. And there was really nothing I could say that wouldn’t sound like an excuse. So here I am. Keeping a promise to myself, more than anyone else, and at the same time learning to articulate and express my opinions in a (hopefully) meaningful way.

This isn’t something that comes easy (writing and expressing my opinions) but I am the firm believe that anything that is worth doing is hard. We’re gonna do hard things.

So friend (cause that’s what we are now) – what are you in for? Simply, I’m gonna be writing about work, life, being human, and everything in between. I’m not here to get a rise out of you – most things said here will be said to a void, nothing will be particularly viral. But isn’t that more authentic? We’re not here for the clicks, we’re here for the space.

If you’ve made it this far, I applaud you — my stream of consciousness, often grammatically incorrect writing is not for the faint of heart — maybe you’ll enjoy this newsletter or maybe you’re just passing by. Either way I hope we can be friends.

Stay tuned, we’ll see where we go!
