Hello? Is anybody still here?

12 Sep Hello? Is anybody still here?

A little tap on the window of this old blog to say hello.

Is anybody still here? I doubt it, and that’s okay. There are so many places to be on the internet now, but I’m finding myself back here.

Recently, I’ve been spending quite a lot of time looking through my old posts. I’ve been archiving a lot of posts and revisiting others that I’d completely forgotten I’d written, but am now so grateful that I did.

I started blogging here in 2010, and there are so many years of my life tucked away. Photographs, videos, stories, creative projects and ordinary little moments I might otherwise have completely forgotten. It’s a journal and story of my life.

Reading a few words or seeing a photograph takes me straight back to that time. I remember where I was, what life felt like and what was important to me then. It has been so lovely to revisit, but it has also made me wish I had more of this from the last few years.

Since moving to Vietnam in 2023, I’ve haven’t blogged at all. I’ve been on Substack and I’m good at making videos, so those years haven’t gone undocumented, but I miss having the photographs, videos and all the little stories gathered together like this.

So, I’m wondering whether I might start blogging again. It’s probably a crazy idea, and who knows whether I’ll keep it up, but I could make it easy. Perhaps just a few words here and there, some photos, a video, or something small I’d like to remember. No schedule or big plan.

I’m giving myself permission for it to just be anything I want. I think I’d just like to leave a few breadcrumbs for my future self to find, because I’ve so enjoyed revisiting the old chapters of my life stored here.

So, this is me beginning. Or perhaps beginning again.

Hello.
