It’s been a while since I last wrote here. In fact, my domain name had even expired – well past the redemption period. Today, almost on a whim, the idea of reviving this space struck me. At first, it felt like a technical hassle, but once I got started, the process unfolded more smoothly than expected. As with most things, the hardest part was simply beginning.
When I first launched this blog, writing was far removed from my day job. It was a hobby, a creative outlet. But once writing became my profession, the energy to write outside of work began to fade. I was hard on myself about it at first (no surprises there!), but eventually I made peace with the shift.
Now, returning to this blog, I realize that writing as a hobby was my way of connecting with myself. Did I lose my original voice when I stopped sharing my thoughts and experiences here? Maybe. Don’t get me wrong – I love what I do for a living. But balancing writing as both a career and a personal practice proved impossible, at least until now.
Publishing my words has always been a quiet source of confidence. Reflecting on that, it feels clear that reconnecting with myself begins with reconnecting with my writing. So I renewed my domain, re-registered it, sorted out hosting, and brought this blog back to life. I’ve challenged myself to be consistent, we’ll see how that goes, but for now, I’m simply enjoying the therapeutic rhythm of typing away.
There’s something deeply calming about the click of keys on a keyboard when I’m writing digitally, and the scratch of a pen’s nib on paper when I’m journaling.
I don’t have grand takeaways for this post – just a simple joy: my blog is alive again, now an ongoing project on my Notion page, and that makes me happy.
Here’s to momentum, and to finding my voice again.
