+        This is my personal blog, where I share my thoughts, experiences, and projects or other things I find interesting. I don't really focus on any particular topic, but there will definitely
+        be a heavier focus on technology, programming, and game development. However, I may also share posts about other topics I feel like writing about. This could be art, music, food, or anything else I'm currently
+        interested in learning more about!
+      </p>
+      <p>
+        I have far too many interests and want to learn all of them yesterday. Being only a single creature with a limited amount of time and resources, I am usually only able to focus on a small amount of topics at once. 
+        I also have a tendency to jump from topic to topic, based off whatever "thing" I currently find the most interesting. Because of this, I want to use this blog as both a way to share my findings, as well as serve as a
+        reminder to where I left off on projects or topics, maybe even re-igniting my spark for what led me to starting down a path for a specific topic in the first place.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+        Being a chronic yapper, I want to spare some of my friends who politely listen to my ramblings, while at the same, hoping to to find any like-minded individuals who may find my posts interesting or helpful. If I can
+        help even one person or introduce a new perspective to someone, then this blog has served its purpose and I can be happy.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+        This blog is a place where I will express my unfiltered thoughts and opinions. I encourage everyone else to do the same, and to please be respectful of others' opinions while doing so.

+        I am a late 20-something-year old internet creature who has been programming since I was 12 years old. I have a passion for technology, creating things, and sharing my knowledge with others. I have held many titles in life,
+        but as of late, that title has been "Software Engineer". From microcontrollers and microcomputers, to native applications and games, to web development and mobile apps, I find all aspects of technology fascinating. I love to tinker, 
+        build, and create things for the sake of learning how they work. I've always had a passion for learning new things, and as I got older, I found I enjoy teaching others what I learn. 
+      </p>
+      <p>
+        I enjoy playing video games, cooking, finding new music, kayaking, and programming. I can sometimes play the piano, and am currently learning both how to draw and 3D model. Had I never gotten into computing, I would have most likely
+        pursued psychology, as I love learning about mental illnesses and how to help people live better, more fulfilling lives.  
+      </p>
+      <p>
+        I hope you'll stay a while and join me on this journey of exploration and discovery!
