I will write more

As this year draws to a close, I've spent some time reflecting on myself. This year has been full of changes for me. I got married to an amazing girl, decided to pursue a master's degree, made new friends, had a lot of good times with my family, and worked on interesting projects with interesting people . Overall, I'm happy and grateful for life right now and excited about my trajectory.

Happy that I am, the new year is always the perfect time to refocus my goals and choose new habits. Next year I want to write more. I aim for at least 500 words a day.
The "Why" ❓
As a decently outgoing face-to-face person, I'm awfully quiet on the internet. I don't know how rare it is, and frankly, it would be hard to tell even if it's common, because a lot of us wouldn't say much!

Anyway, I consume internet content in many forms. Articles, social media feeds, videos, articles, tutorials, books (more rarely than I would like), etc. I generally feel okay with how I filter the content I consume. I will make some adjustments, but I think I have cultivated a lot of interesting and useful knowledge on the Internet this year.

However I feel like my brain has become very optimized at the expense of creativity. I'm still a student, so information absorption speed and pattern matching are the keys to the game if you want to have free time in a busy school schedule. The problem is that I don't get much better at spontaneous creative work. Observing problems and solving them, coming up with ideas and executing them…these opportunities are rare in the college classroom. I don't blame anyone in particular for this; I learned a ton from my teachers and loved many of my classes. But I decided it was time to take charge of my creative development and I started writing.

Contrary to my meager blogging history, I have thoughts worth posting from time to time, but I hardly ever write anything and I would have liked to. I would like to make my voice heard on the Internet a little more, but I keep holding myself back. Let's debug my thought process!
