My Growth Journey Begins Now

I’m starting this blog to document my growth journey. I turned 30 this year, and honestly, I feel horrible about it. Thirty feels so old, and I’m disappointed in myself. The fact is, I’m still working at a mediocre job with an underpaid salary, and I’m completely unsatisfied with my tasks. It feels like every item on my to-do list is a big, hairy chore. It’s that feeling of, “Gosh, here’s another new problem I have to look at today,” and it just makes me feel apathetic. I should be excited about problems and doing my best, and sometimes I do, but it's rare. I recently realized that this attitude needs to go. With this mindset, I’ll never grow. Hence, this blog.

I originally wanted to make YouTube videos to document my journey, but I'm choosing to write a blog instead. Writing is the fastest way to document my learnings. For example, every time I learn something new, I pick up my pen, grab my notebook, and jot it down. I love the simple act of collecting information. While video is an amazing way to convey findings, writing has its own unique fanbase—and I can relate to that. As an avid reader, I love to read, and I love to write stuff down.

These blog posts will be published weekly and will contain all my learnings. I mean everything: a new person who inspires me, an ML project I'm working on, new code I've tried, my progress in learning a new skill, and even a new recipe. This blog will literally have everything.

Lastly, I am doing this because I want to be a great storyteller, and this blog will be one of the best ways to practice that.

See you on the next episode!
