description: A lot of time has passed since I started this blog…

Hi folks!
|
|
|
|
I recently had a look inside the [archive](/archive.html) of this blog and was quite surprised to
|
|
find out I have been maintaining it for 10 years now. That's quite a long time for human standards.
|
|
|
|
On this occasion I started to reminisce about the past ten years and the ups and downs I had in
|
|
this period of time. There are very mixed feelings when looking into the past and even more when
|
|
trying to tell the future.
|
|
|
|
I feel like I have lost my purpose of being somewhere along the way, but the one I had was not
|
|
doing me good either. It gave me a direction whereas now I feel aimless, but it wore me down to
|
|
the bone and made me neglect myself. Nowadays I still have the tendency to disregard my own needs
|
|
-- old habits die hard -- but i'm no longer peer-pressured into thinking that it's alright and
|
|
that I need to wear me down even more to succeed. On the contrary even, my friends point out my
|
|
flawed thinking and convince me to take care of myself.
|
|
|
|
Speaking of friends, I feel thankful for the people in my life. Those I keep contact with from
|
|
long before and those who came along during the journey. The diversity of life reflected in them
|
|
and all the different experiences I have had with them tought me a lot. Often I feel guilty of
|
|
being a burden to them…
|
|
|
|
Change is probably the one lasting constant of life. I hope to change for the better in the future
|
|
and never lose my passions.
|
|
|
|
Ten years ago I wouldn't have dared to make up characters and stories to share them publicly.
|
|
Nowadays I'm publishing [my own webcomic][remnants], where the first chapter has just been
|
|
completed and the second one is about to get ready for release. And I have ideas and plans for
|
|
more chapters to come.
|
|
|
|
Excuse me my rambling in this blog post. It's just something that occupied my mind lately.
|
|
|
|
Keep calm and wash hands.
