Blogging Commitments for 2025

Whatever I think or believe may not carry much weight in the grand discourse unfolding in cyberspace or within the grassroots movements dedicated to addressing immediate, pressing concerns. The conversations happening around us — whether online or in person — are far-reaching and intense. So, what do I hope to achieve by writing this blog? In truth, it’s not about contributing something radically new or revolutionary to the conversation. It’s about documenting my own journey, my observations, and my reflections — as an educator, a writer, and as someone deeply committed to the ideals of equity, justice, and liberation for the marginalized and oppressed in all corners of our shared humanity.

This blog exists as a space for me to process and organize my thoughts — to reflect on the intersection of the personal and the political, to make sense of the overwhelming chaos within our economic, social, political, artistic, and cultural spheres. It isn’t about offering profound insights or seeking validation. Rather, it’s about capturing my lived reality — a reality that might seem small or insignificant compared to the grand movements of history or the vast sweep of global events, but one that nonetheless deserves to be recorded.

Consider this blog an effort to perceive the world from the perspective of a worm, an ant, or a fly — a humble attempt to capture the vastness of existence from the eyes of something seemingly insignificant. It’s about finding meaning in the details that often go unnoticed — the fleeting moments, the quiet struggles, the quiet victories. In a world that feels vast and overwhelming, this space is where I can carve out my own small corner to reflect on the beauty and complexity of life in all its messiness, and in doing so, hopefully, uncover something universally human.
