Revival from the Rust

Getting up from a writing slump

Hey there,

It's been a while since I’ve been active here or published anything elsewhere for that matter. Life’s been pretty wild these couple of months, and a lot has gone up and down, but I’m happy with where I’ve landed.

Sometimes you need to hit pause to make room for new stuff, and that’s exactly what I did. But honestly, it was the best break ever. I’ve found so much inspiration, and I’m ready to dive back in for months before my next break (yep, another one is on the calendar, but I promise I’ll keep you guys looped in this time).

This weekend, wandering around in the scorching heat, I realized how much I miss my younger, more energetic self—the one who would explore the streets, chat with strangers, snap their photos, and leave them smiling, all while sweating buckets.

This was a great reminder for me to revive the rusting passion. Life’s too short not to do what makes you feel alive, and for me, that’s writing and photography. I’m not making money from either anymore, but they’re still a big part of who I am today.

Reading some pieces by my favourite writer [going to do the big reveal soon, and those who know, keep it to yourself]. He started his blog on WordPress, and it made me think about reviving my own blog which I have archived for three or four years now. It felt great looking back at my old posts and seeing how much I’ve grown.

I’ll be moving all my old stuff over to Substack, so stay tuned for that.

Writing this with a solid plan to stick around this time, or at least try to.

Ciao!
