Here begins the webgarden, a place where I'll post my thoughts, interests, ramblings and their progressions. I welcome you here to look into pieces of my mind, even if they're messy and a bit all over the place as of now. It's still a shell, I have to decorate some more, but it's here like this for time being!
A while ago in a discord server someone brought up the topic of webgardening, linking to
this article about it. Though this was a while ago and my site was still early early in development, the idea recently came back to me when
looking into how to form a blog.
In short, a web garden is an ever-growing culmination of your own findings, thoughts, and opinions. Rather than a blog, which everything
is polished to perfection upon release, a web garden is meant to be expanded on, improved, and pruned continually. Gardens aren't linear the way
blogs are either, they're (supposed) to be topography-based, this page Isn't meant to be a timeline of events but just a collection.
The idea of a blog was appealing, I'd like a place to put my thoughts out for those to see, however the most daunting part of it all was that
a blog post was final, most blogs I'd seen were pretty... how do I put it... Done and dandy? already complete?,
I'd always been the kind of person to feel they need to change everything from time to time. My thoughts are everywhere! (literally)
A garden gets rid of the self imposed limitation that to put yourself out there, you need to look finished and complete.
I think a lot about something my art teacher had told me about my creative process, how my process is more like a flurry that collects and expands,
and perhaps this page is a reflection of that?
TL;DR:
Thank you for joining me here, I hope you enjoy looking through this place, I hope maybe this speaks to others who want to start a blog but aren't
keen on the idea of being complete. This page is intended to just be a landing/intro to this place, also something to put in the iframe lol
Perhaps it'll change? I guess "the end" isn't an appropriate title.
See you in the garden! Kaf
