This year has been a blur, for all the good reasons.
I might quit blogging, as I have pondered before, but now for much bigger reasons—
I’m a mom now. It still looks new to me as I type it. But last June I gave birth to our son.
There’s an entire lifetimes of stories to share about my childbirth and postpartum journey. However, it will probably never feature on this blog anymore.
I admit that my blog has also lost a bit of its focus—on the one hand, I used to write avidly about my life, my thoughts, my likes and dislikes; on the other hand, I’ve used this blog as a sort-of online business card to briefly showcase my career profile and demonstrate my work.
For all the pomp and pretension I used to hold about digital minimalism, it’s much clearer to me now what’s important—social media is here to stay, to help me stay connected with the people I love. A lot of my life I now share more zealously than ever on Facebook and Instagram and private chats. If you know me in person and want to see my life, please, don’t be a stranger and add me, if you haven’t.
I still have my passions and projects. To me, this isn’t farewell to a pastime I used to love. It’s just a different season in life where my priorities are different.
And I welcome it.
