Some four years ago I started writing a blog that was intended more for me to pen my thoughts and feelings down. It was a very personal endeavor. Quite a lot of what I wrote were about people and events in my life and how I related to them as an individual.
Along the way it helped me think more about the art of writing. I was an absolute novice in that area. I remain one.
Eighty posts later on my "personal" blog I feel may be I should start writing about matters less personal. I do not wish to do so because I have anything profound to say. Far from it. I am convinced that there are millions and millions of bright, learned and wise people in this world who have many valuable things to say and who are capable of saying it well. The world could therefore be just as well even if I did not write these posts.
In that sense this blog is yet another personal endeavor. I write because I found the process of writing those posts very fulfilling to me, sometimes even cathartic. In short it was an activity that I enjoyed.
In the same spirit this blog is an act of indulgence too, an activity I engage in for my sense of personal joy and fulfillment.
The posts I intend to write will be about topics that I consider important. Thus the posts will hopefully be more serious than trivial. At the same time I believe that nothing that I have to say will ever qualify to be considered sublime. Hence the title, Between the Trivial and the Sublime.
