sudo systemctl start ghost - my journey to start writing

It was a long dream to start a publishing platform of my own. There have been unsuccessful attempts before which never made it to production. Funny that we have 168 hours with us and yet we find out excuses of not having enough of it. We do have ample amount of time for everything, but not everything is in top of our priority list.

I don't have time = It's not in my priority

Above is a Ted talk from Laura Vanderkam. Somehow it popped up in my feeds and boy I have a different perception since then. I might be delaying some work today also, but I now know it is not about the lack of time. The problem is in me. I do not feel the job is of that importance that I will dive in right away. But the question is, will I do it tomorrow? Or the day after tomorrow?

Am I a punctual man?

I can see my friends who know me well, laughing their hearts out. NO, I am not. Now if I know winter is coming, I will start gathering my troops since autumn. I formed my own rules which I am comfortable with - if it can be done quickly, I will do it now. If not, I will do it in parts. See, I know I am lazy; There is no turning back from it. This is an agreement I signed up with the devil inside. Either do it now and enjoy the rest of your time, or complete one frament at one time for the cost of your 'me time'.

Where the f@ck is the relevent content?

I have a bucket full of such wishes which I have kept for some later time. And while writing this, it's already 24 years and 2 months! How long now?

I always wanted to craft my own site. Ghost came to rescue. When I first learned about how simple it was to create a theme for this blogging platform, I was in love with this beauty. (No babe, I love you more. Trust me, this is not a competition). One day I just jumped it and started developing for it. Didn't knew when would I be able to see the first post, but kept on the working. Never counted how long it took. I just knew from todays failure - not to repeat the same one tomorrow. The development phase was fun. I also got to pick up some cool tricks on my way.

Now what?

I plan on improving this theme and continue my writing saga. If you would like to catch up, please follow me on twitter and Instagram or just drop in to say hi 👋 !.
