Every couple of years I feel like I should comment on my goal with this blog. I want talented thoughtful people to read it, think about it, then riff on the themes I discuss that resonate with them.
I want creative theft. I want you to take my ideas and do with them, but do in YOUR way.
The CEO of a company you have likely heard of offered to help me monetize this blog, but that just feels a bit gross to me. It was a generous offer, for which I was grateful, but I turned him down. I have no objections to money, but no matter what I might have been selling, it would change the feeling. It is pure, as it is. I have no strings, no limits, no considerations other than what I myself think and feel. There is no one’s opinion I need pay attention to. I am completely free, and that feels good to me.
This blog really is therapeutic for me. As I have said before, it is mostly the talking itself that helps, not the being heard.
