On (hand)writing

Recently, I have been finding that I need to not only consume, to not only respond and react, but also delve into questions and try to figure out what I really feel and think about some subjects. So I plan to use this blog as a platform for expanding my though from the limited spaces of the bite-sized quips on social media.

My main adversary to this is, of course, laziness, but hopefully, now that I have the setup and the place, I would just need the occasion to put pen to paper. Or finger to keyboard, in modern settings.

Speaking of which, over the years I’ve read dozens if not hundreds of posts, articles and even researchs, that handwriting has very strong positives - helps memorize and learning your subject of writing. Yet I’ve never been one to journal - it always felt distant and alien to me. I’ve always preferred to internalize and process my thoughts in the privacy of my mind.

Yet, as inevitable as the march of time is, the change of person to someone who wants to spread his wisdom (yes, I realize how much heavy lifting this word is doing in this context), is even more unstoppable. So here I am, taking my first steps to try and share my inner thoughts with a wider audience, and no one in particular.
