Hello, World

(10/2/2024)

Hello, everyone! Welcome to my first blog! In general, I'm probably going to try to post something a couple times a week. While I would love to write something every day, almost like a diary, I really have to be realistic with myself. At the end of the day, that isn't going to happen.

Furthermore, I just want to warn you that there will be a LOT of typos in my writing. Like a lot. Maybe I should experiment with writing my blogs in a google doc and then transfering them to my code, but for now we're just gonna raw dog it! Honestly, I have no idea what these blogs will be about? Perhaps it will be just my daily museings about the benality of every day life. Or maybe this will turn into a collection of manifestos. Again, we may never know

I just hope that I won't ever feel a pressure to write something, even if I don't feel like it. I have a tendency to burn out pretty quickly, I think most people do. I blame the school system. We spend our years banging out useless assignments to the point where even free time feels like an assignment.

That's a rant for another day, however. What I really wanted to talk about today was why I decided to create my own website as opposed to developing my social media profiles.

Why a Website?

While many people are motivated by ideas of digital independece and freedom from large coroporations when it comes to starting thier own website (and trust me, that is definitly a plus), at the end of the day, I just want to have fun

I've known HTML for a while, taking a few courses over the summer, however I have never really gotten the chance to create a big project with my skills and a personal website seems to solve that issue.

Also relaxation. Damn, I need to relax a bit. I, and I assume many people as well, seem to have little time for anything other than work and having a space where I can just write what I want, where I want, whenever I want, I think will be a plus for my life in general. And a big plus of using a website over social media is the fact that I can focus on myself. Theres no algorithm mining my data, nor are there and likes and views that I have to keep track of. Instead, it's just me and my code editor againts the world.

Am I perhaps writing into a void, with no one other than myself ever reading this? Yes, that might be so. However, the reason why I am creating this website is not because I want to get famous or something. Rather, I am just doing this for myself, I am doing this because I want something to work on that can allow me to escape the hassle of every day life.

Anyways, that's all for my first post, I hope you were able to weed through the numerous typos (I literally can't spell to save my life). Enjoy your day, week, month, year, or life depending on when I see you next!

Peace out,

Sabina <3
