My Website

Yesterday I went down a YouTube spiral that brought me to this video:

The video, aptly titled, is about 17 productive things you can do with your free time, created by Zach Highley. The video focuses on the evening when you’re winding down for the day. What do you choose to spend your time on? Do you scroll through your phone or binge watch a show until you’re tired enough to go to bed? It includes many helpful tips, such as read a book, write in a journal, take an online class, go for a walk, etc. There are many good tips here, but the one I absolutely loved, was to create a website. He says that everyone deserves a website. We are all unique interesting individuals, and your website can showcase your thoughts, likes, ideas, whatever is speaking to you. I love that concept. Every person does deserve their own website. And as he aptly points out, nobody is reading it in the beginning anyway, so might as well do what you want with it.

Now I’ve already created a website, it’s this website. It is focused on my writing, which is my passion project, but what it’s really representing is me. Zach encourages each person to create a website and post once a week. Just once a week, something that is of interest. Although I do want this site to showcase my writing, especially as I hope to get published someday, but what I love about this idea is that this website can also represent me. It’s a beautiful concept, and one that I’m going to embrace, especially because nobody is reading yet anyway.
