Finally, I get the works gradually done. The idea of having my own blog has rooted for so long since I started to code. Still, to the date that I write this first-ever article, this blog isn't fully functional yet. With internal and external inspiration, I have been pushing myself to make it happen. A lot more to be added but I want this one to be my inspiration which might lead to more works done.
I started writing maybe around 4 or 5 years ago. My first blog was on blogger if I am not mistaken. Then, WordPress and Medium. However, I didn't write regularly. I already forget my blogger and WordPress account. I like reading articles on Medium and so far I have written a few articles there. I must admit that the concept of this mighty blog is mainly from Medium. I remember one day I was writing something on Medium and got lost in my own thought of "what if I have my own". I was very motivated that day. I started coding, bought the domain, looked for templates and kinds of stuff. The beginning was the most exciting part but a few days later I became lazier and lazier and BOOM, 1 or 2 years later with nothing done. My excuses are I was too caught up with my job :D and school. Anyway, the initial idea was not about a personal blog but about the review. I could recall at that time I bought a domain name called "wereview.asia" from Namecheap (I was afraid that someone would think about the same cool name and bought before me) and wasted money for nothing. The idea was to allow people to submit their reviews about anything from foods, books, cosmetic products, places..etc. I myself even gathered all the photos of food and drink so once I would finish the project I would start with my own reviews. Things turned out different; procrastination delayed the plan. I ended up posting those photos on Instagram. What I have learned from this is:
Passion alone is not enough. Perseverance is the key and it is the most difficult thing to ace. But it's not impossible.
Then, I gave up on that first idea and decided to just work on this small personal project. Slowly but surely, it has gone this far. Again, I hold a lot of thoughts in my mind about the upcoming articles. Mostly, they are related to what I have been encountered during my time far from home. I hold myself back from writing them on Medium. I really can't wait longer :P but I am also a bit lazy. No one is gonna read them anyway :/. I think this will be like my own space where I will express myself freely. Maybe someone is gonna read it or maybe no one.
In case anyone will read this, stay tuned! If not, also fineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :) Gotta wash up and get ready for tomorrow's hiking. ~MoonJ
