My motivation for this blog was inspired by a good friend of mine. We met purely because of his willingness and affinity for talking to complete strangers. He sat down at my table as I was doing calculus homework, and we spent that afternoon in a free stream of conversation that flowed more easily than with anyone else I have ever spoken to. He recently started a blog, with a pledge to write everyday, and the quirkiness and insight of his posts have prompted me to try to do the same.
I do not intend for anyone to ever read this pseudo blog. In fact the possibility that others might stumble upon it is slightly off-putting. At the same time, one of my goals in life is to learn how to put myself out there in the world. This seemed to be an excellent, passive first step.
I also wanted to use these blog posts to overcome my dislike for writing. I think my dislike stems from the fact that I don't do it often enough. As I force myself to do this more often, hopefully it will become habit, and not seem to me like such an arduous task. Next step, start writing blog posts in Chinese!
