Since January 2018, I have dedicated myself to the world of blogging, consistently sharing my thoughts and experiences every single day. It’s been a remarkable journey that spans over 3.5 years.
But what keeps me going? Some may call it dedication, but if I’m being honest, I sometimes joke that I’m trapped in this blog. I have invested so much time and effort into this endeavor that I simply can’t imagine stopping now.
Imagine waking up one day, realizing that I’ve abruptly halted this passion project. The mere thought sends shivers down my spine. I’ve come this far, and I want to continue for another 5, 10, or even 20 years.
Fortunately, most days flow effortlessly. I engage in various activities and stumble upon numerous fascinating ideas worth sharing. On such days, I may come across 10 or more topics that ignite my excitement.
However, there are also days when writing feels like an arduous task. In these moments, I wish to focus solely on what truly excites me. After all, blogging should be fun, not a chore.
But, alas, I can’t always indulge my personal whims. Sometimes, I take tangents, delving into subjects unrelated to web development—the main theme of my blog. I embark on deep dives into Arduino, Electronics, or Swift, all somehow connected to my programming endeavors.
Admittedly, I also find myself crafting meta posts like this one—posts that explore the art of blogging rather than delving into programming intricacies. It adds a refreshing layer of diversity to my content.
Nevertheless, deep in my heart, I know that I can’t go on writing about JavaScript forever. Or can I? The answer eludes me, for now. Maybe, I will eventually pivot my focus to other realms.
But that day is not today, and I’m determined to continue sharing my thoughts, experiences, and knowledge with the world. This blog has become an intrinsic part of my life, and for that reason, I’m committed to the journey ahead.
