focus

Perhaps focus is an apt theme. I’m at a point where I’d like to simplify things and refine them. For instance, I feel like I’m focusing more when I cook—the simple fact that I’m actually cooking for myself is an improvement.

It’s not like life is slowing down: I just feel like I’m learning to let smaller things go and shifting the focus to what’s really important.

In tune with that thought is this redesign of the tree. Many times I’ve thought of neat additions, but the tree has always been about one thing: me writing. It’s never been about photos, fixed topics, or readers, and I’m not really sure it was ever about me, outside of what can be grasped from the entries.

The design and function was chosen to emphasize the text. I like to think I was successful.
