I'm Here

Hi!

It's 8:06PM and I'm writing about the value of procrastination in a half-hearted bid to avoid doing my lab report.

Simultaneously, though, I'm writing. I've told myself I've wanted to start a website since as long as I can remember. But I say that in the same way that I say I want to do a lot of things -

- learning to code

- reading X book

- signing up for X program

- listening to X podcast

- learning X language

- start using an emulator

...and so on and so forth.

It's a list that seems infinite because there's no external motivation to do any of this. No one is going to break into my house and arrest me because I didn't learn how to code last weekend. There's only me - and I'm not confrontational enough to bust out the handcuffs.

But lately (and obviously) things have been different. I've been in my house for the longest period on record since middle school summers. Stuck within the confines of the same walls, I've resorted to the same activities: cooking, reading, avoiding lab reports, and writing. And as much as I love these things, life is about experiencing new things. That's how we make memories.

So the constant push for novelty has finally steered me towards the list that I've "been working on". And I've actually been working on it.

Starting a website is (almost) totally new to me, and starting a blog is completely fresh (unless you count finsta). But I think it's a way to expand memory, to expand life. And hopefully to make the next few months a little more novel.
