It’s been a whole year now since I decided to start writing my own weeknotes, a lot of stuff has happened since then, and a portion of that has been documented week after week on this website.
I was inspired by many people, such as Jeremy who was the one who gave me the final push, Jedda who was at it since earlier, or Ariadne, who was among the first I saw!
There’s also Thomas, TK, Tracy (woah that’s three T’s!), Cassie, Sylvia, Sam (wooah that’s CSS!?), and many, many more!
Since the day I started, I’ve asked myself how worth it is it to actually write down stuff like this, the random things that happen day after day, that are just a part of everyone’s life.
I have great friends and fellow bloggers who kind of don’t see the point of it, some people want to portray a certain character to their websites, which is perfectly understandable to me. But hey, my website is mostly about my life, not really just gaming or technology or reviews, if I feel like writing it, I’ll probably end up sharing it here, so weeknotes felt right to me.
Somehow, some people even said I’m part of why they decided to start doing their own weekly notes, a huge honor for me, I must say.
I am always looking forward to see what people are up to week after week sharing their story, slices of a life that are as familiar as they are unrelatable, as fascinating as they are stressful, and as fun as they are a chore. It’s life after all!
This act of documenting our day, each project, idea, event or shenanigan, is just so interesting to me, both to write myself, and to read up from others. My feed reader is almost like a weekly newsletter of everyone’s updates and thoughts, the same topic, and yet different all the time.
Of course, while some people I admire have lost motivation or gotten busy. Some others have continued to be fascinated by the everyday. In the end, not everyone has the time or the energy to commit on a regular basis, priorities are set somewhere else, and that agency is a beautiful thing too.
I will continue to write these for another year, and more, I hope! And I look forward to all of yours as well, to inspire new ones and uncover old ones, because those small parts of life are the ones that make us realize we are all just people living under the same sun, on this pot of land we call earth.
