Redeemable

When I started a second blog in 2023 I wasn't sure how long it would last. I was a different person than the one who began the first one in 2012 and so the focus was slightly different. 

Since then I have had several failed attempts at ending this one but then I come back. Maybe it's the addiction of putting ideas down that has me return. 

I don't pay attention to traffic and so when this week I hit 1 million views, it snuck up on me. I write without thinking of how consequential it will be to my readership. 

We change as people over time. Our ideas about ourselves and the world morph as we grow in maturity and experience. Ideas are refined and some are even abandoned as new information is acquired. 

The work I have left is to come to the most charitable version of myself as possible. I have seen much in my life which contradicts that aim but I cannot let cynicism win. 

Instead I need to let my knowledge of the limitations of humans be baked in to the calculations of what redeems us. 

I will probably go on here in fits and starts. Who knows.
