Hello, Mom.

Welp, I did it. I've managed to put off making a blog site for decades, yet somehow here we are. Up until now I didn't think I needed a blog. Up until now I assumed that there was no reason for me to create one, because nobody wanted to hear what silly old me had to say. I'm quiet. I'm shy. I'm an introvert.

Why would anyone in their right mind ever read my stuff?

I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this for me.

I think I do a bad job of thinking about my thoughts. Often when my family or friends are having a discussion I internalize my feelings and don't always share them, and the older I get the more I realize that might not be the best thing to do. That might sound strange, but I'm hoping this site will help with that. I'd like to discuss (with myself) my feelings about my life, web development, the world in general, etc, and I'm gonna just give it a shot and see what happens. Writers often say writing for them is very cathartic, and maybe I need a little of that in my life. Maybe by printing my words out there for everyone (or maybe just my mom) to see, it will resonate with other people as well, who knows?

Hi, mom. Love you!
