Blog in Review

I started this blog for a couple primary reasons: 1) as a sounding board for personal therapy and 2) to preserve my thoughts and learn to delivery content more effectively. I started the blog with the goal to write something everyday even if it was minor and personal.

So far I’ve been so-so with my goals. I miss quite a few days at times so my regularity is something I want to improve on. I’ve also loved writing and using this as a personal journal.

With that said, one area I really want to focus in on in 2020 is delivering better content. Anecdotally, I think I’m at 80% personal writings and I want to get that to 50/50 so I can start my accomplish some of my other goals with this blog.

Onwards…

Yesterday was my Dad’s 63rd birthday. My Mom passed away when I was 7 so my Dad largely raised me as a single father who also ran a small business.

We had a lot of rough spots growing up and we didn’t see eye to eye on very many things. You can blame it on a lot of cultural differences (he grew up in Indonesia) and on me for being a difficult kid.

One thing I’m very proud about in my adult life is reconnecting with my Dad and acknowledging my faults as a child/teen while also forgiving him for any short comings he may have had as a father.

Life is short and you only have one true father and I’m glad that our relationship is in a really great spot at this point in my life.

We had a great dinner where we dined on hot pot and wagyu beef. I paid for dinner to the pleasure of my Dad.
