Continuous: I am not a thing, I am a process

I remember when I tried blogging consistently in college (http://albert1chu.blogspot.com/ for laughs), I would often start posts and leave them unfinished. These were times when I couldn’t quite put my idea into words the way I wanted to. I wanted to be insightful and succinct. What was the point of writing about something if I didn’t think there was value in sharing it? If it had been said before, or if I wasn’t going to say it in a different way, it had no value.

I’ve come to reflect on this and determine that this is a flawed view. My writing style and process are not static characteristics of myself. They are things that I can cultivate and strengthen. That is one of the reasons I started this new blog. To release my ideas as a continuous process.

Continuous is a series where I want to release my ideas into words with the notion that it doesn’t have to be perfect. That I can come back to that post and improve upon it, much as I am trying to improve myself every day. Thus, I think it’s fitting that I leave this post unfini
