This is my 330th post on this website. I can't even fathom how much time I've spent on it over the past six years, not only writing but also tweaking its design and migrating from one platform to another.
I've always thought of this website as part of my lifelong effort to become a better writer and a better person. I rarely receive donations, so there isn't much financial incentive to keep publishing here.
And yet, here I am, writing another post.
I've been wondering lately why I continue to spend so much time on something that nobody asks me to do. Is it because I love writing? Because I want to be acknowledged? Because I enjoy having a place of my own online? Or because I've been doing it for so long that I can't imagine stopping?
Maybe it's because I've come to rely on this website as a place to express myself. It's a little haven where I can write whatever I want, experiment with new ideas, change things around, and not have to justify any of it to anyone.
I don't know if that's the whole answer. But after six years of dedication, it's a question worth investigating.
