What are you doing with your life?

I've never been good at keeping a journal. I've tried, more than a few times, both the leather-bound kind and the various app versions, and the daily "here's what I did" format has never really stuck for me. So this is me trying something different. Slower, less structured, and less obligated to show up every day.

Mostly I wanted somewhere to look back on. My memory is genuinely bad, and when friends or family ask what I've been up to, I have a hard time piecing it together. The hope is that this becomes the answer. A loose timeline of things I'm working on, places I've been, projects I'm in the middle of, photos I want to keep somewhere that isn't a phone, and the occasional thought I want to sit with for a minute. Part journal, part photo album, part newsletter, part nothing in particular.

I also wanted it to be somewhere quiet. Most of the places I could put this kind of thing are pretty loud, all feeds and metrics and strangers and ads. This is the opposite of that. Most of the people reading it already know me, so I don't have to worry about how it sounds, and you can read it whenever you feel like reading it.

So that's what this is. Mostly for me, honestly, but I'm glad you're here for it.
