In the rhythm of life, sometimes we need to pause and check our pulse - to see how far we’ve come and how much has changed. Today serves as one of those moments of reflection.
Earlier today, I helped a colleague set up a blog. While WordPress seemed like the obvious choice, we opted for Hugo - a simpler solution that matched their comfort level. This interaction sparked memories of my own blogging journey, reminding me how our choices evolve with time.
Speaking of evolution, I drafted a piece about my changing preferences in choosing places of worship - a reflection on how my perspectives have shifted over the past decade. Yet, upon review, I decided not to publish it, feeling it came across as too self-righteous. It’s interesting how our self-awareness grows alongside our experiences.
The last time I wrote a blog post about installing Linux, AI chatbots weren’t part of our daily reality. Now, they’re everywhere - even this very post is being crafted with Claude’s assistance. It’s a stark reminder of how rapidly our technological landscape transforms.
Four years hold countless stories, yet when faced with the blank page, the words don’t flow as easily as one might expect. Perhaps that’s why this pulse check is important - it’s not about capturing everything, but about acknowledging that we’re still here, still growing, still adapting to the ever-changing rhythms of life.
Sometimes, the simplest way to restart is just to check your pulse and confirm: yes, we’re still here, still learning, still evolving.
