Welcome to this inaugural blog post—a side project I’ve been meaning to start for a while.

As we step into 2025, I’ve set a few writing goals that were inspired by David Perell's essay titled “Why You Should Write.”, which emphasizes the power of writing to clarify thinking, spark creativity, and connect with others.

The space will help document life’s journey—the moments that pass too quickly, the ideas worth exploring, and the memories that deserve a place outside my head.

I hope it will serve as a space for experimentation and reflection, capturing the ebb and flow of life with family, friends, and the occasional solo adventure. Time flies faster than I’d like, and I haven’t been the best at keeping track of the highlights—or even the challenges—that make each year unique.

What can you expect here?

A little bit of everything:

Travel Adventures: Stories and photos from family trips and new places we explore.
Tech Musings: Occasionally, I’ll explore technical topics or projects I’m working on—sharing insights that might be useful or interesting to others.
Lifestyle and Reflections: Small milestones, hobbies, or thoughts I want to document and share.

I’m not setting a strict posting schedule because I want this to feel organic rather than forced. Still, having this blog as an outlet might encourage me to share more often.

What do I hope to achieve?

The primary focus of the blog is to:

Improve my communication skills. (Story telling, persuasive writing)
Organize my thoughts in a more meaningful way.
Leverage writing as a tool for deeper learning and insights.
Share what I've learned.

If you’ve stumbled upon this post, thank you for stopping by. I hope your 2025 is off to a fantastic start! If you have ideas, thoughts, or just want to connect, I’d love to hear from you.

Here’s to a great year ahead!
