        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>
        While this blog isn't my "safe space" per se, it 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!
