The Writing Catalogue

Blogs

Why do I write blogs?

… because writing (and reading) blogs is fun!

Blogging is fun. With blogs, you get to write your heart out about something you know, something you learned, something you saw, something you thought about, something you did, something you have opinions about… something you experienced.

Writing blogs is so wonderfully human. 

I wish everyone did it. Full disclosure, I never wrote blogs before 2020. I don’t know why I didn’t write blogs before. When I did reassess my life, I realized how I wanted to catalogue palpable change. As humans, we change so much as time passes us by. Our experiences and the things we learn along the way shape who we ultimately become. My blogs are to showcase just that.

So… welcome to my blog! This human likes to do a lot of things. Therefore, this human will write blogs about these things she does. The aim is to show you what I did, what I learned, and how it impacted me. In doing so, I create a catalogue and you can read (and maybe try) the experiences.

I would love to hear your takes on the things I write about. Opinions and experiences are personal, aren’t they? This is precisely why I have separate blogs and essays pages. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sometimes, it is alright to give in to your emotions and feeling it all. Like a comet, break apart, only to be alright again.
