My "ghost," once a boulder, is reduced to a pebble. Not because of a hammer, or a chisel, or a stick of dynamite, but by the same intrinsic force that turns a stream into a river, or a plateau into a canyon.

But just as the water convinces itself it was made for the puddle shaped hole it resides in, I too can survive and adapt. So what if I spend a year hyperfocusing on something "useless?" So what if I watched Castlevania and cringily rooted for Dracula the entire time? So what if I want to now be a crappy excuse for a polymath at the age of 27?

I no longer care. Trivial things are trivial, a tautology, but one that serves as a reminder that black and white are not present in our world, and that even though subjective, categories can still be made. The world can somehow make sense as one cohesive (although wretched at times) idea, if I just try not to think too hard.

This website is not just a whimsy for me. This is the first time I will try to keep content creation serious (for the most part), because I want to know what it will do to me. Will I be a better person if I deliberate and iterate until I drop? Probably not. Point is, this place is a symbol of my creative rebirth. And I don't care how hard I have to pull the chain to get it started.

So it goes,
