It’s been a while since I’ve had an online journal. It feels really nice to have a blog again. There are plenty of social platforms where I could write or blog, but there’s always been a certain allure to having a website of my own. And so, here I am… starting yet another personal website.
I really do need to reflect on what my true aim is for this site, though. My last personal journal was very art-focused, and rightfully so. As a true reflection of who I am, I am first and foremost a visual artist. Having that previous website be predominantly about art made perfect sense. Still, I have other talents… ones that were never pursued or shared in that last journal… and I’m hoping to change that this time.
So, this journal will not only document my art journey but also serve as a collection of my writing in general. I’m currently sorting through some of the old fiction I wrote during my college years. I plan to post them in their original form, as well as re-edit them to reflect who I am now. Hopefully, I won’t cringe too hard while revisiting my past writing, lol. I also plan to write new fiction… Hopefully I will find the time to do so. Art will always take priority, so if it takes me seven years to finish a short story, so be it. At least there will be a home ready for it.
This entry will be posted around October 2025, marking the launch of the third version of my personal website. However, there will also be backdated entries in this journal, reflecting the original publication dates of my essays and fiction.
To all my friends, old and new… welcome back, and here’s to a new writing journey!
