Just Write

Last night, I felt the urge to write. But instead of writing, I spent a few hours moving my blog around, trying out themes and platforms, and thinking to myself, "Which version of me to do I want to present?"

In all honesty, there are too many options nowadays and too many factors at play. I get lost in the debate about self-hosting and which platforms offer just enough customization that I like the way my blog looks, but not so much that I spend all my time tinkering. It's really silly, considering I used to do all my writing in Notepad and I was quite content with that.

After mulling over my options today, I decided that the best course of action was to start fresh with a new idea I've been kicking around, while also launching a low-stress place to just share the occasional thought or photo. This led me down, yet another rabbit hole, of trying to determine what to name this blog. Do I keep it Brandon's Journal, or do I present it as something new? Do I even want to share this with anyone?

I'm still not really sure, but I decided to do what needed to be done, which was just write. Just get these ideas out of my head and into a space where I can move on with my evening. The rest of this can be figured out later.

So, here I am, showing up and writing. I'm sure not having an "official" home for this post will haunt me a bit, but at least I've written. That's a good first step and one I think I've needed to take for a while.
