If you write a lot like I tend to do, sometimes you find yourself in a niche.  It’s not a bad thing, but when you find yourself here, it’s really hard to just be yourself from time to time.  The blog that used to have an objective now feels like a place you have to be someone you aren’t really.  For me, it happened on my personal site and I felt like I couldn’t be myself on my personal blog.  I started to give myself excuses.  I redesigned the site probably 300 times now over the course of eight years.  Why?  To better show the person behind the site.  Some of the excuses were legitimate.  Some were just plain dumb.  Truth is, I used a domain I had bought, that meant something to me back in college.  Since then, I’ve changed.  My identity is different than it was then.

I can’t promise I will write more.  I’m done with promising that and not living up to my own expectations.

I will promise to be more authentic though.
