I'll be turning 30 this year, and while I have no problem with it (I'm actually kind of excited to start my thirties), I have noticed signs that I'm getting older.
- I have a much greater appreciation of socks
- I have less and less interest in popular culture
- Some days just getting to stay home and do nothing is a treat
- I care less about what everyone thinks, but I also care more about being the person I want to be
- I've started watching documentaries
- Seriously, socks
My wife decided to follow someone else's lead and write something (almost) every day (Almost Daily). She knew she wouldn't write every single day, and I know I wouldn't write every single day either, but I wanted to challenge myself to start creating. Writing, drawing, even just partial ideas. I spend so much time consuming others' work and being busy with life in general that I haven't been creating or producing anything.
This blog is my effort to get creating again. And this is just for me. I would be sooooo lying if I said I wouldn't be checking page views or anything, but currently I'm not planning on posting this on social media, and I have no illusions that it will become popular (no one reads blogs anymore anyway - another sign that I'm getting older). I want to keep myself honest to create whatever comes to me.
So here's to a new year, let's do this.
