You writing something personal serves as inspiration to people who just want to write.

Many years ago I started writing as a goal to make it something big. But I was very far away from acheiving anything close to my goals, and writing started feeling like a chore.

Now I am working on my personal blog as a platform, not only for writing, but for self expression in design and programming. Because I just read your post - it makes me want to speed up the process of finishing my own blog (it contains many engineering quirks that need to be ironed out as it is not a simple website - hence the time taken to make it).

So what I am trying to say, when people read your posts - you are moving the needle. You are not changing anything spectacularly, but rather have some influence of people's perception over certain things. And now - you moved me closer to finishing what I started months ago - this should serve enough of a dopamine hit for you to continue doing what you are doing, however you choose to rationalize it :) (assuming you even get to read this comment)
