I’ve long given up on writing here for an audience. Every attempt at doing so fizzled out. Probably because it is never been the real reason I write.
In prolific times, I wrote for myself. I wrote because I had something to say. Or I wrote with someone close to me in mind.
Today and going forward, I’d like to write for my kids and whoever else may care about what I write here. I could also do this privately or with a different medium. There is however a truth of sorts in the accountability that comes with words made public. (I say that whilst I’m busy recapturing almost 1000 posts I lost and which are not here yet. And I’m cleansing my content on proprietary social networks with the goal of bringing that content here. There is something about not shying away from the words I used - even if it was 10 years ago - and really owning it.)
I hope that this blog is read in its entirety by those who care.
I hope that it shows a complex vulnerability and a desire for authenticity
I hope it shows me. At every moment and in every season.
