Leafing Through

First Entry

No matter how many projects I abandon after a few weeks out of overwhelm or to attend to other obligations, I still can't help but place some hope on new efforts, like this page.

I'm inspired mostly by Winnie Lim's long-running collection of writing to see how my writing and my self change over years. But I can't quite do that if I scatter my writing in different places. I know the urge to compartmentalize oneself according (each line of work you go into, each hobby you have, each new role that emerges from whatever major or minor life circumstances), and I've gone through my own numerous platforms and personas. So I'm curious about how my present self deals with, tolerates my past selves and their ways of thinking and writing, or if I find them too cringey and decide to jettison them into the inactive, unlinked parts of the web.

I'd like to see how much change in myself I can accommodate before I feel the need to mark the end of one phase of my thinking/writing and move to another, and to see if I can make sense of all these changes if I accumulate them in a single site.
