about this page

i’ve always struggled with completing projects. i have a pretty high failure rate. logging back into wordpress reminded me of this because i had intentions of starting a food blog back in 2014 around teaching myself how to cook japanese food and documenting what i learned along the way. someone left me a comment on the blog about if i still have a major personality flaw of being a flake and as shitty as the comment was, it was true (come forth now, anonymous coward). i’m notorious for not finishing shit and this new attempt at writing could fall victim to my unfinished projects list but who really cares because it’s for me and not for you

anyways, my intention with starting this up again and taking a crack at writing is to form a place for me have a brain dump, be creative if i want to, maybe it will help me track things going on in my life, maybe i’ll continue being flakey. going on any other social media platform right now is so time consuming and toxic, i find myself wanting to disengage from it more and more every day but i still seek an outlet to express myself

i have been really struggling to fit things in my life. i felt that i couldn’t start something because of X and because one thing was stopping me, it halted all progress. so here comes the all or nothing approach getting wiped off my slate. that small piece of the puzzle is ok to be missing for a bit but i can finish the rest of it until i find it. done is better than perfect. i cringe at that thought because i am so embarrassingly specific about many things and need it done in those ways or it upsets me. moving away from this idea is very freeing and allows me to feel comfortable in chaos and things that aren’t “perfect”

so in summary, here is my never to be perfect journal, i’ve picked an off the shelf theme that i didn’t do anything to to just get this off the ground and started. i’ll try to keep this updated on a consistent basis, track some goals that i am trying to keep up with, snacks that i enjoy and whatever the wind blows my way.
