It’s been a year now.
It all started about a month and a half after my daughter was born. I was exhausted, running on little sleep, low on energy—but I had a realization.
I saw a version of myself in the future who didn’t commit. Someone who didn’t put in the extra effort to turn a bigger vision into reality.
That thought stuck with me.
"Time is limited. What little time and energy I have left felt too valuable to waste. I needed to invest it into something meaningful to me."
Most of my energy goes into taking care of my child, spending time with family and performing at my job. With my background—and my motivation—I knew I had what it takes to make it work.
Technical Difficulties
Over the past year, there have been a lot of challenges. Ups and downs. Creatively, technically, and mentally.
At one point, I even had to take a three-month break due to health issues.
But now, one year later, I can say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. This past year felt like it flew by and I can feel the pace only accelerating.
I’m proud of where I am with the project, the father I’ve become, and the colleague I am to the people I work with.
Looking Forward
I’m more motivated than ever, and excited to start sharing the small world I’ve been creating.
Soon, I’ll begin posting content and exposing myself to a new kind of challenge: putting my work out there.
I’m looking forward to receiving feedback—both positive and negative—and learning how to grow from it. And I hope to build a community that pushes me to create the best work I can.
Cheers.
