i suppose this is my first post

I have wanted to start a blog for a while now, but it wasn’t until recently, that I seriously considered the idea. There were so many reservations that caused me to hesitate: What if I waste my time? What will I talk about? What if someday, it all disappears? So many things were hindering my inevitable start.

Actually, no.

this is the part where I call myself out:

I allowed trivialities to amplify my fear, and grew unnecessarily anxious about worries I can’t even begin to discern.

So what exactly pushed me to start? Well, I recently attended a conference for marketing students, and on the last day a very influential man delivered a few words that cemented my resolve to just do it already. As he spoke, I began drafting ideas for minimalistic layouts and sketching page plans. It’s funny how one person can be so inspiring. Anyway, now I’m here and I am determined to follow through.

but first, can i share a secret?

This is effectively the third time I am reposting this journal entry. I’ve copied this post from my secondary Tumblr (a fudged attempt) to my newly-created account, only to realize that Tumblr may not be the right platform for me. It seems I can’t quite get the hang of this whole blogging thing.

Hopefully, I can find a home in Medium, and I’ll figure out the rest along the way.

Cheers to you for finding this blog. To me for finally beginning. To Brian Wong for delivering awesome advice.

Welcome to my journey.
